Ingredients
-
1.5 cups
hard red winter wheat berries
-
3 cups
water
-
2 cups
butternut squash, 1” cubes
-
2 tablespoons
extra-virgin olive oil, divided
-
1
zested orange peel
-
1 tablespoon
maple syrup
-
1/2 cup
fresh parsley, chopped
-
3/4 cup
dried cranberries
-
1/4 cup
almonds (optional)
Directions
-
Bring water to a boil and add wheat berries. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover and cook until soft, about 45-50 mins. and drain.
-
Preheat oven to 400°.
-
Toss the squash with 1 tbsp. olive oil, place on a baking sheet and roast for approximately 20-30 min. Cool on paper towel to soak up any extra olive oil.
-
Meanwhile, prepare vinaigrette. Mix orange zest, orange juice, 1 tbsp. olive oil and syrup together.
-
In large bowl combine wheat berries, roasted squash, vinaigrette, parsley and cranberries. Cool down in refrigerator – this may add a little to the total time.
-
To serve, top with sliced almonds (optional).
