Wheat berries have become part of my regular repertoire when I cook at Pie Ranc<\/a>h. This ranch is named \u00a0for its layout that is shaped in two pie slices which they call the “upper slice” and the “lower slice” and also because they grow wheat and mill it on site. One of the great benefits or this crop is of course the wheat berry itself which has a great nutty flavor and is high in fiber and protein.<\/p>\n

Wheat Berries and Roasted Onions, Fennel, and bacon<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

I have used wheat berries in tons of ways: creamy ‘risotto’, garnish for salads and soups, baked into bread, and as a substitute for rice. Even when fully cooked the wheatberry will not be soft like rice, it has a slight crunch when you bite into it which I like.<\/p>\n

Cooking wheatberries is similar to cooking wild rice, except I use a ratio of 1:3 wheat berry to cooking liquid (water or stock). And I don’t worry too much about steaming the berry, instead I just let them simmer until al dente \u2013 about 30 minutes.<\/p>\n

I have the benefit of using a huge wood fire oven at Pie Ranch but this recipe works equally well in a regular oven minus, of course, that great smokiness.<\/p>\n
