Yummy Whole Grain Wheat Pilaf (Wheat Berry) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup wheat berries, rinsed
2 cups water
2 bouillon cubes (I use chicken but you can use veggie broth to make vegetarian)
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large red onion, chopped (I chop mine pretty small)
3 large garlic cloves, minced
3 large carrots, chopped (I also chop this very small for my toddler)
2 cups cremini mushrooms, chopped (can use regular mushrooms or Portobello caps instead)
2 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1 teaspoon onion salt
1/2 cup raisins (optional)
1 gala apples, diced (optional)
1/2 cup slivered almonds (optional)

Preparation

Rinse the wheat berries.
Bring 2 cups water to a boil in medium saucepan and dissolve the bouillon cubes.
Add the rinsed wheat berries and cover.
Return to boil then reduce heat to simmer for 45 to 50 minutes until most of the liquid is absorbed and grains are firm yet chewy.
In a large skillet,heat olive oil over medium high heat.
Add onions and saute for about 5 minutes until translucent.
Reduce heat to medium and stir in the garlic and carrots, cooking 3 minutes.
Add the mushrooms and saute until their released liquid has evaporated--about 10 minutes.
Push the veggies off to the side and use the free space in the skillet to scramble the beaten eggs.
Stir in the cooked wheat berries, pepper, onion salt and any OPTIONAL items you're going to add.
Cook 2 or 3 more minutes to heat through.
Voila!
