Spelt and Kamut Salad

• spelt berries (can substitute wheat berries)
• kamut berries
• goat cheese (can substitute cheddar cheese)
• green onions (organic tastes the best)
• fresh corn cut off the cob
• fresh cilantro
• few green olives
• 1 Tbsp olive oil and 0.5 Tbsp sesame oil (can omit olive oil)
• low-sodium soy sauce
• lemon juice to taste
• salt and pepper to taste

How to cook kamut berries:
Soak berries in water overnight.  Cook with 1:2 ratio (one part kamut/two parts water).  Bring kamut to boil.  Simmer kamut for 60 min.  Kamut should be crunchy, but not too hard.

How to cook spelt berries:
Don’t need to soak (yay!).  Cook with 1:2 ratio (one part spelt/two parts water).  Bring spelt to boil.  Simmer spelt for 60 min.  Spelt should be crunchy, but not too hard.

How to make salad:
Chop everything up and mix together.  Add fresh tomatoes and 1/2-1 avocado at serving time.

Black Bean Burgers

• 1 can of black beans (540 ml)
• bunch of fresh cilantro
• bunch of fresh parsley
• 1 tbsp fresh parmasean cheese
• half a lime
• 2 organic green onions
• 1/2 cup Panko crumbs

Mix everything except for the Panko crumbs in the food processor.
Chop up the green onions pretty good before putting them in otherwise they don’t get cut up properly.
After mixing everything up, put the mixture in a bowl and add the Panko crumbs.  Mix it up with a spatula and then form them with your hands into four patties.
Fry them with a little olive oil in a pan.

Spelt Mini Burgers

• 3/4 cup dry spelt
• one shredded carrot
• 4 fresh basil leaves
• 2 organic green onions
• handful of cilantro
• half a handful of fresh parsely
• 1/4-1/2 cup of shredded goat mozzarella
• 3 organic eggs
• 1/2 cup Panko crumbs

Mix everything together except for cheese and Panko crumbs.  I am wondering if mixing it in something like a VitaMix would crush the spelt berries? After blending, put in bowl and add cheese and Panko.  Form into balls with your hand and cook them in a pan with olive oil until brown.

Overnight Oats (Pumpkin)

• 1/2 cup dry rolled oats (not instant)
• 1/2 almond milk (or cow milk/soy/rice milk, whatever)
• approx 1/4 cup of Agave syrup (or maple syrup/honey) depending on how sweet you like.  I used less than 1/4 cup myself.
• 2 Tbsp canned pumpkin
• dash vanilla extract
• cinnamon (I used quite a bit and it made it awesome, like 1 full tsp)
• half mashed banana
• 1 tsp chia seeds (optional)

I mixed these ingredients all in one bowl.  Then I covered the bowl with saran wrap and stuck in the fridge overnight.  Woke up the next morning, added a dollop of sunflower seed butter (you could also use peanut butter or whatever nut butter you want) and I microwaved it for about 30 seconds just to take off the chill.
