Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup wheatberries
  • 1 bulb fennel sliced thin
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • Kosher salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  1.  In a small pot, add wheatberries and 1 1/4 cup water. Bring to a boil and the cover and let simmer for 15 minutes.

  2.  In the meantime, slice the bulb (the white part) of the fennel. In a saute pan, add olive oil, fennel sugar and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook on medium-low heat until fennel is slightly browned.

  3.  Slice pomegranate in half and using a wooden spoon hit the back of the halved pomegranate above a mixing bowl to help remove the seeds.
