Wheat Berries With Sesame, Soy Sauce and Scallions

1. 1

   In a 4- to 6-cup saucepan, combine wheat berries with a large pinch of salt and enough water to cover them by at least an inch.

2. 2

   Bring to a boil and adjust heat so mixture bubbles gently.

3. 3

   Cook, stirring occasionally, until wheat berries are tender, about 35 to 45 minutes.

4. 4

   Add boiling water as necessary to keep wheat berries covered and to keep them from drying out as they swell and become tender.

5. 5

   Wheat berries are done when tender with a slight bite to them; ideally you will have cooked out all the water at about the same time they are tender, but if any remains, strain them.

6. 6

   (At this point you can drain berries and refrigerate for up to a few days, then reheat when ready to serve.)

7. 7

   Fluff wheat berries with a fork and toss with sesame oil.

8. 8

   To serve, drizzle with soy sauce and garnish with scallions.
