Einkorn Berry Cereal
When the icy wind slices across the ground, crystallizing the top layer of snow, when every child is in bed hoping Mom will say school is canceled, when even the air inside is so cold that getting out of bed seems an Olympic event, that is the time when a good hot cereal become necessary. For those who don’t live in cold places, lucky you. Even so, sometimes you just need something besides cheerios in the morning.
With this recipe for a hot cereal using EInkorn berries, the void can be filled. The closest I’ve found to this cereal Russia’s Kasha made with buckwheat. Kasha has a similar texture but a fairly complicated process. This recipe is much simpler and has a thoroughly enjoyable taste and texture. This cereal takes all that we love about Einkorn and puts it into a soft breakfast cereal perfect for those cold winter mornings.

I soak the Einkorn berries the day before and let them begin the sprouting process overnight and then cook them in the morning with some cinnamon and a little celtic salt for about 1/2 hour. Then add nuts and fruit. Very chewy and easy to digest and delicious!
I cook berries as you direct but then I make a savory serving from this by adding almonds, kalamata olives, green onion, avocado, sunflower seeds, grape tomatoes, and feta. I then sprinkle it with lemon juice, salt and pepper. It is wonderful added to any green salad or as a side dish.
About the savory changes: I forgot to say I only use water as the liquid and don’t use any sweetner. Sorry for this oversight!
Oops! We did reverse the water and berries. Sorry about that! It’s corrected now.
Not enough water, I believe the measurements were reversed. It burns because of not enough water, turn the measurements around, and add more salt.
1 cup of water to 2 1/2 cups of beries doesn’t seem like enough liquid.
