Ingredients
  • 1 cup pre-cooked wheat berry
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 medium red onion, thinly diced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or dried basil)
  • 1 ½ cups deseeded and chopped tomatoes
  • 3.5 ounces (100g) mozzarella, cut into small pieces
Instructions
  1. In a small saucepan, combine wheat berry with lots of water and salt. The water amount should be at least double the amount of wheat berry. Cover and bring to boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for time stated on the package. The Swiss box of pre-cooked wheat berry takes only 10 to 15 minutes to cook. When the wheat berry is cooked, place in a sieve to drain and allow to cool.
  2. In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, sauté the red onion for 2 minutes until softened but not golden. Add the balsamic vinegar and thyme and cook, stirring often, for 1 more minute until fragrant. Let cool to room temperature.
  3. Combine wheat berry, red onion with balsamic vinegar and thyme, tomatoes and mozzarella in a serving bowl. Mix to combine and coat the wheat berry in the balsamic vinegar sauce. Serve at room temperature.
