Servings: persons

1.5 cups Wheat berries..hard or soft
1 cup diced onions
4 cloves diced garlic
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup heavy cream...maybe a little more
1 handful shredded parmesean
2 cups lightly steamed broccoli, or other wonderful veggie...squash, cauliflower, etc.
a grind of fresh nutmeg
1 cup toasted pecans/walnuts/almonds...whatever you have
1 shot lemon juice
Kosher salt, fresh ground pepper, and chopped parsley to taste

1
Cook the wheat berries however you like. I cover with lots of water and boil for at least 60 minutes or until tender...but there are lots of ways to do this. Drain.
2
Saute onions in butter and EVOO in a large skillet until soft but not brown. Add garlic and cook until fragrant. lovely!
3
Add cooked weat berries to the skillet Saute briefly. Add cream, nutmeg, and S&P to taste. Add some water, wine, or chicken broth if it seems too dry. Cook a bit to blend the flavors.
4
Add steamed broccoli and parmesean. Melt a bit together and the add toasted nuts. Adjust S&P as needed...a tad more parm if it looks bare and serve up quickly as a lovely main or side. If a lemon is handy, squeeze over the top and sprinkle with some chopped parsley and it will brighten things up even more. :-)
