Ingredients

  • 1 cup kamut berries
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
  • 3 medium navel oranges
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 medium fennel bulb, quartered, cored and diced
  • 1 large red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 small red onion, chopped
  • 1/4 cup kalamata olives, pitted and halved

Steps

  • 1
    Place kamut berries in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cold running water until water runs clear. Place in bowl with the 2 cups of water. Let stand 8 hours or overnight; drain.

    In medium saucepan, heat kamut berries, the remaining 1/2 cup water and the broth to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer 45 minutes or until berries are tender and some of the grains have burst.
  • 3
    Drain in a colander; place in medium bowl. Cool at least 30 minutes.

    Cut off peel and most of the white membrane from 2 of the oranges. Cut each orange in half through the top end and place each half flat on a cutting board. Cut into 1/2-inch slices. Juice the remaining orange. In small bowl, whisk together orange juice, oil, vinegar, salt and pepper.
  • 5
    Add fennel, bell pepper, onion and olives to the kamut berries. Stir in orange juice mixture, tossing to coat well. Gently stir in oranges.
