Overnight whole grain cereal

1 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 Part mixed whole grains
(e g. wheat berries, oats,
Buckwheat, hulled barley,
Rye, millet, etc.)
3 Parts water
⅓ Part raisins (optional)

Directions

Boil water Add grains [and raisins, if using them] Stir Bring to boil again Turn off heat Cover pot Leave overnight as is [or in a warm oven]

(NOTE: I usually add raisins to already cooked cereal because I like the texture. They turn out differently if they are added in the cooking stage. They plump up and are really soft, which is nice sometimes. I guess other types of dried fruit might work too.) You can reheat this in the morning or eat it at room temp. Suggested toppings included any of the following: milk-type stuff molasses fruit sesame salt maple syrup One variation the cookbook suggests is toasting and then grinding the grains in a hand grinder before cooking. Apparently, this makes the grains more nutty tasting.
