Brown Rice & Wheat Berries

Ingredients

2 1/4 c water
3/8 c wheat berries
3/8 c brown rice
1 saute fluid
1/4 c scallion
1/4 ts salt
1/8 ts pepper

Instructions

In 2qt pan, boil water. Add berries, return to boil. Reduce heat, simmer, covered, 1 hour. Stir in brown rice. Cover, simmer 50 minutes longer. 5 minutes before rice is finished, saute scallion until softened. Combi ne with rice and wheat mixture, along with spices. Note: The original recipe called for 2 Tbs. pignoli (pine nuts), tosted in 1 Tbs butter, before adding the scallions. I simply eliminated them. I'll run both combinations through my recipe program, and re-post if it can be done <= 10% cff. The original recipe's 'Health Tip' suggested omitting salt, substituting unsalted margarine, and/or eliminating the nuts.
