Directions
Belila (Vegan Friendly), Cooked wheat berries in milk from Egypt Please take into consideration the time necessary to soak the wheat berries overnight and to cook them for one hour Good for either breakfast or dessert but we enjoyed it better as the former Wheat berries have quite a chewy texture so if you’ve never cooked with them before at least you know what to expect As found in the cookbook ‘Mediterranean Light’ by Martha Rose Shulman Vegan friendly , OOH I get to be first! This is wonderful, CG! One quick mention – my package actually says farro Looked it up & it’s all basically the same thing I *did* remember to soak them overnight They were cooked in closer to 30 minutes Once the spices had steeped & the flavorings added (I would double the orange flower water next time; it was wayyyy too subtle), I added the wheat berries back to soak in the flavorful milk until the rest of the gang woke up I added more honey to my serving So delicious & the chewiness of wheat berries makes me weak in the knees Thank you! Made for Ramadan Tag 2013
