YUMMY WHOLE GRAIN WHEAT PILAF (WHEAT BERRY)
I made this tonight and we thought it was great. Even my 20-month old daughter LOVED it and that's saying something. I know a lot of people want more whole foods in their diet but have no clue what to do with them. Whole grains can get pretty intimidating. This is a healthy, whole grain recipe that's easy as can be. I've listed the fruit and nuts at the end as optional because this is good with or without those ingredients. I like it without. You can also add some grilled chicken or shrimp and make it an entree. Let your mood dictate how you make it. :) Also, I entered this under the Kid Pleaser category only because my picky 20-month old loved this so much! :D

BULGUR WHEAT PILAF
We love this with Chicken Supreme Kiev-Style recipe #175757. From Jacques Pepin's cookbook, Good Life Cooking. The cooking time includes reconsituting the bulgur wheat by soaking it in hot water for about 45 minutes. Once that's done, the rest of the recipe will take about 10 minutes to cook.

Steps:
- Place bulgur in a heat-proof bowl and pour 1 1/2 cups boiling water over it. Let stand for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until most of the water is absorbed by the wheat. Drain.
- Heat oil in saucepan. Saute onion for about 3 minutes. Add garlic, salt, pepper. Saute for 10 seconds.
- Stir the drained bulgur wheat into the onion mixture. Cook for 4-5 minutes. The excess moisture will cook away and then the wheat will begin to brown and become fluffy.
- Add in the frozen peas. Mix well and cook for about 1 minute longer. Stir in the butter.
- Serve immediately.

MUSHROOM WHEAT BERRY PILAF
An unusual recipe for wheat berries in that in contains no dried fruit. Nothing wrong with fruit but sometimes you need a side dish that isn't sweet. What I like about this recipe (apart from its goodness and healthiness) is the way you can prep the next step while the previous one is sauteing. Just start the wheat berries and the rice, heat the oil while you chop the onion and you're off! Can easily be prepared as vegan. The cooking time includes cooking the wheat berries and rice, the rest does not take as long and can be set aside while the berries finish. From foodnetwork.com credited to Alton Brown
