Wheat Berries With Toasted Pecans And Cranberries Recipe

Ingredients

2 cups hard wheat berries (12 oz)

1 medium onion, chopped

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil

1 large garlic clove, finely chopped

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 cup pecans (4 oz), toasted and chopped

1 cup dried cranberries

Preparation

Cook wheat berries in a 4-quart pot of boiling water (unsalted), uncovered, until tender, about 1 hour, then drain in a large sieve. After wheat berries have been cooking for 45 minutes, saute onion in butter and oil in a heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring, until softened, about 6 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in wheat berries, kosher salt, pepper, toasted pecans and cranberries.
