Sous Vide Wheat Berries

Wheat berries make for a wholesome side dish that’s perfect to prepare in a precision cooker. Once they finish their long, slow cooking, the nutty grains can form the base of just about any salad or stirred into soups and stews. I love to eat wheat berries on their own so I can fully appreciate their earthy complexity.

You can also cook this recipe in one quart-sized canning jar. Place the ingredients in the jar instead of a zipper lock bag in step 2.
