Ingredients

1 cup wheat berries
2.5 cups water
2 cups finely shredded Lacinato kale (packed)
¼ teaspoon sea salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
¾ cups golden raisins 

Instructions

• In a medium saucepan, add the wheat berries and the water. Bring to a boil over medium heat.

• Gently massage the kale for 2-3 minutes or until it begins to soften. Set aside until wheat berries are cooked.
• Add the cooked wheat berries and golden raisins to the bowl and combine well.
• Serve at warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in a airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
