Overnight Whole Grain Cereal

Type: Vegetables
Serves: 1 people

Recipe Ingredients

1   Mixed whole grains
  (e g. Wheat berries - oats
  Buckwheat - hulled barley
  Rye - millet, etc.)
3   Water
1/3   Raisins - (optional)

Recipe Instructions

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.
