This is a new recipe I tried this morning. I have an abundance of einkorn berries that I received as a gift quite a while back but haven’t cooked with them yet. I had to find a recipe using ingredients I have on hand since going to town is impossible this week. Once it rains here the dirt roads get messy and you slide all over the place. Staying put is advisable. I had frozen blueberries, which I substituted for the fresh berries, and ripe bananas so this recipe was a perfect choice. It was really good, I mean really good, even without the honey which I simply forgot to add when it was done. Buck wasn’t sure about it so he ate some Greek yogurt while I was making this, then tried it when it was done. He said it was better than he thought it would be! He’s often unsure of some of my recipes but always tries them. It’s a two thumbs up from him even though he’s conservative on his praise. Here’s a link to the recipe at https://everydaydishes.com/simple-food-recipes/einkorn-wheat-berry-breakfast-bowl/

Ingredients

• 1/4 – 1/2 cup water, hot
• 4 Tbsp unsalted butter, divided
• 2 cups einkorn wheat berries, soaked overnight
• salt, to taste
• 1 pint blueberries, washed
• 2 bananas, cut on the diagonal
• 2 Tbsp brown sugar
• honey, to drizzle

Instructions

• Heat water in tea kettle or small pan—have it ready to go.
• Melt 2 Tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in wheat berries and sauté for 4–5 minutes, until they change color from pale to dark golden brown. Pour in enough water to cover bottom of the pan, add a pinch of salt, cover the pan and reduce the heat to low. Let simmer for 4 minutes.
• Uncover and add blueberries. Cook blueberries 30 seconds to 1 minute to allow them to soften. Transfer mixture to serving bowls.
• Add the remaining 1 Tbsp butter to the pan over medium-high heat along with the brown sugar. Whisk to combine then add sliced bananas. Cook about 1 minute on the first side until a brown crust begins to form. Flip the slices and cook 30 seconds more. Top the serving bowls with bananas, drizzle with honey and enjoy.
