Kamut Salad

This is one of the salads in the case at work. It's what I eat whenever I feel like having something hearty and nutritious; it's high in protein, carbohydrates, and minerals.

'Kamut' is actually a trademarked name for an ancient grain known as khorazan.
  • 3 kg kamut
  • 0.75 L toasted slivered almonds
  • 0.75 L sliced dried apricots
  • 0.75 L dried cranberries
  • 2 bunches minced parsley
  • salt and pepper
The whole grains get boiled in unsalted water for 1.5 to 2 hours, until softened but still chewy, then mixed with the other ingredients and some orange-flavored salad dressing.

It could potentially be substituted or mixed with quinoa in quienoa salads. I bet that there's a lot of other ways to use it.
