BELILA (VEGAN FRIENDLY)

Belila (Vegan Friendly) image

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.

Time 1h13m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 cup wheat berries
3 cups water
2 cups milk (or your favorite milk substitute)
1 tablespoon honey, to taste
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (or a small piece of cinnamon stick)
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg, to taste
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon orange flower water (DO NOT omit)
1 apple, diced
honey or powdered sugar
toasted almond (slivered or sliced)

Steps:

Soak the wheat berries overnight in water to cover. Drain the next morning.
Combine the wheat berries with 3 cups of fresh water; bring to a boil.
Reduce heat, cover and simmer 1 hour or until the skins split. Drain.
In the same pot heat the milk (or milk substitute) with the honey, cinnamon or piece of cinnamon stick and nutmeg. Gently heat until the spices start to become fragrant.
Remove pan from the burner and stir in the vanilla extract and orange flower water. Note: if you used a piece of whole cinnamon stick remove it now.
Stir in the cooked wheat berries and heat through if necessary. Or, as we did: spoon a serving of the wheat berries into a bowl and pour milk all around.
Garnish the wheat berries with diced apple, powdered sugar or a drizzle of honey and the almonds.

STUFFED MUSHROOMS - VEGAN FRIENDLY

Stuffed Mushrooms - Vegan Friendly image

These are delicious and no one was more surprised than I was, the confirmed carnivore-they satisfy that fifth 'umami' taste for savory, protein-rich foods. They are easy to make and, frankly, better than a lot of recipes I have that involve meat (!) This is an adaptation of a recipe I found online. It's vegan-friendly but also appeals to omnivores. If you want to jump-shift to vegetarian, top them with parmesan cheese rather than the nutritional yeast. These may be made up to 24 hours ahead.

Tips:

For a thicker stew, use less vegetable broth or water. For a thinner stew, use more.
To make the stew more flavorful, add a tablespoon of cumin or coriander powder.
If you don't have any fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs instead. Use about 1/3 of the amount of dried herbs that you would use fresh.
Serve the stew with a side of rice, quinoa, or bread.

Conclusion:

Belila is a delicious and versatile stew that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its combination of vegetables, lentils, and spices, belila is a healthy and satisfying meal that is sure to please everyone at the table.
