WHEAT-BERRY TABBOULEH
Eaten whole, wheat berries have a strong nutty flavor, making them an earthy alternative to rice, couscous and quinoa. They can be soaked overnight so they'll cook faster and have a lighter, softer texture, but it's not necessary. A great way to prepare them is in tabbouleh, as a substitute for bulgur wheat. Suddenly, what is often only a small part of a Middle-Eastern mezze platter is elevated to a main dish.

[email protected]Meh. I found this recipe to be bland and uninspired. The wheat berries were chewy and the dressing was too acidic. I won't be making this again.
