Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 cup whole rye (also called rye berries)

1 cup white (soft) wheat berries

1/2 cup wild rice

1/2 cup pearl barley (optional)

5 3/4 cups to 6 3/4 cups water

1 1/2 cups miinced red onion (optional)

1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

 

Rinse all the grains together in a strainer. Transfer them to a medium-large

saucepan with 5 3/4 cups water (6 3/4 cups if you are including the optional

barley). Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer over the lowest possible heat for 1

1/2 hours.

Check the grains to see if they are done to your liking. (This is a chewy

pilaf.) If you would like them somewhat softer, cook them covered for another

10 to 15 minutes. However, if they seem about right, but there is still some

water in the pot, just turn up the heat a little, and cook them, uncovered,

stirring often, for about 5 to 10 minutes longer. The water will evaporate, but

the grains will not overcook. (Alternatively, you can drain out any excess

water by placing the cooked grains in a colander in the sink and leaving them

there for 10 minutes or so.)

Add minced red onion, if desired, and salt to taste. Fluff with a fork, and

serve.
