Wheat Berry Summer Breakfast Bowl

This warm grain bowl makes a healthy and delicious breakfast. Delicious stone fruit at the peak pairs beautifully with nutty whole grains like einkorn or Rouge de Bordeaux, a rare grain featured in our Heirloom Bean and Grain Club. Top this with a vegan yogurt or some coconut cream to keep it vegan.

(Makes 2-4 servings)

Ingredients:

1 cup whole Einkorn or Rouge de Bordeaux Whole Wheat Berries
4 cups water
2 cinnamon sticks
pinch of salt
6-8 ripe peaches, nectorines or plumbs cut into slices
maple syrup
pecans
plain yogurt (diary free for vegan)

Directions:

1. Combine the wheat berries, water, cinnamon sticks and salt in a sauce pan.

2. Add half of the stone fruit to the pot.

3. Bring to a boil, cover and then reduce to a simmer. Simmer for 20-30 minutes, until the grains are plump but not bursting.

4. Remove the cinnamon sticks, and the fruit skins with tongs.

5. Serve in bowls with fresh plums, pecans and a spoon of yogurt. Sprinkle on some pecan halves and drizzle with maple syrup.

In the Basque region of France they don't soak their signature Tolosa beans, they slowly braise them with just water, salt and olive oil. Time and heat to transform even the dense beans from dry to creamy masterpieces. This method works just as well for all heirloom beans! Read more about my bean braising experiments...
