Expert Tips

To cook the khorasan wheat: soak the wheat in water over night. Strain and cook in 3 cups of water for 2 hours or until tender. Strain and store refrigerated in a sealed container. You can add to salads, soup or eat in place of rice.
If you don’t like goat cheese, use queso fresco or feta instead.
If you don’t have balsamic glaze, use balsamic vinegar.
