Wheat Berry Pudding
The wheat berries must be soaked overnight, then boiled until tender.
The ratio of wheat to water is generally 1:3, so if I’m making 1 cup of wheat berries then I’ll add 3 cups of water. However, I strongly recommend that you keep checking on your wheat berries every 10-15 minutes in case you need to add a little bit of more boiling water. You will also need to give the wheat berries a stir every now and then, as they’re known for liking to stick to the bottom of the pot!
Ingredients:
- – 3 cups water –
- 1 cup wheat berries
- – Two sticks of cinnamon
- – Three stars with anise
- – ½ teaspoon of cinnamon powder
- One tsp ground anise.
- – One teaspoon of fennel powder
- – A quarter cup sugar, or to taste
- – One cup chopped dried fruit
Technique:-
- Leave the wheat berries in the water overnight, then rinse them with cold water until the water runs clean.
- – Bring the whole spices and water to a boil in a pot. After the wheat berries have partially cooked, add the ground spices and dried fruit, and continue cooking for a further 15 to 20 minutes, or until the wheat is soft and fully cooked.
- – Typically, the entire cooking process takes thirty to forty-five minutes.
- – Nuts: walnuts, almonds, pine nuts, pistachios; – Pomegranate seeds; – Desiccated or shredded coconut
– Fennel candy and candied chickpeas.
Enjoy!
