Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 cup wheat berry rinsed
  • 1 cup pearl barley rinsed
  • 1 cup millet seeds
  • 1 tbsp orange zest grated
  • 1/4 cup orange juice fresh
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice fresh
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/3 cup mint leaves chopped, fresh or 1 tbsp dried
  • 1/4 cup dried cherry chopped, or dried cranberry
  • strawberries washed, chopped as needed, fresh
  • apricots
  • blueberries
  • yogurt optional

Instructions

  1. Bring 4 cups of salted water to a boil and add wheat berries. Reduce heat to low and simmer 30 minutes covered. Next, add the barley and simmer an additional 20 minutes.
  2. As this is cooking toast the millet seeds in a hot skillet over medium heat until they start to pop and turn a toasted light brown. Remove from heat after about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the toasted millet to the cooked grains after 50 minutes, and simmer an additional 15 minutes or until all water has been absorbed. Fluff with fork and remove from heat to cool.
  4. Make the dressing by whisking together the orange and lemon juice with the oil, then add the honey, orange zest, dried fruit, and mint. In a large bowl pour the dressing over the mixed, cool grains. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours.
