This was very tasty. It was our first time trying wheat berries and we really enjoyed the wonderfully nutty flavor. I used 2 fresh jalapenos (because I was out of chilis), and regular mustard seed because it was all I had. We had it as an accompaniment with dinner. I look forward to trying it with other things in it. Thanks so much!

We LOVED this. BF is still eating his portion and already asking when we can make it again. I added peas and almonds, as suggested. I did leave off the chiles because I did not have any, but added some spices to compensate. I added some dried cranberries to mine; BF added sugar and hot sauce to his and then decided that he had added too much hot sauce and added some yogurt. Really delish and very versatile. I love having more savory stuff like this for breakfast and this is a great healthy whole-grain dish, which is perfect for breakfast as well! I will make this again soon, for sure.
