Here’s a recipe for wheat porridge with raisins:

Wheat Porridge with Raisins Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup wheat berries (or bulgur wheat)
• 3 cups water or milk (dairy or non-dairy)
• 1/2 cup raisins
• 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
• Pinch of salt
• Nuts or seeds for topping (optional)
• Fresh fruit for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Wheat:

   • If using wheat berries, rinse them under cold water. Soaking overnight can help soften them, but it’s optional.

2. Cook the Wheat:

   • In a medium saucepan, bring water or milk to a boil.
   • Stir in the wheat berries and a pinch of salt.

3. Simmer:

   • Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer:
     • For wheat berries, cook for about 45-60 minutes, or until tender.
     • For bulgur wheat, cook for about 12-15 minutes until soft.

4. Add the Raisins:

   • In the last 5 minutes of cooking, stir in the raisins. They will plump up and add sweetness.

5. Sweeten and Spice:

   • Once the wheat is cooked, remove it from heat. If desired, stir in honey or maple syrup and cinnamon.

6. Serve:

   • Spoon the porridge into bowls and top with nuts or seeds if desired. Garnish with fresh fruit for added flavor.

7. Enjoy!

   • Serve warm and enjoy your hearty breakfast!

Feel free to adjust the sweetness and toppings according to your taste!
