WHEATBERRY SALAD WITH BEETS, APRICOTS AND WALNUTS
Steps:
- Combine the apricots and apple cider in a small bowl. Soak until plumped, about 1 hour. Drain, chop finely and set aside.
- Make a vinaigrette by combining the lemon juice, orange juice, orange rind and Pernod in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Season with the salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Combine the wheatberries and chicken broth in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until partially cooked, about 15 minutes. Drain. Add to the vinaigrette. Toss. Set aside.
- Combine the beets and 3 cups of cold water in a saucepan. Simmer over medium heat until tender, but not soft, about 20 minutes. Drain. Rinse under cold running water until cool. Peel. Cut into 1/2-inch dice. Add to the salad and toss. Add the apricots, walnuts and parsley and toss. Drizzle with walnut oil. Toss again. Season with salt and pepper. Divide among 4 plates and serve.
