How To Cook Wheat Berries In The Instant Pot
Let me show you how to cook wheat berries in the Instant Pot. It is such a simple process that yields perfect results.
Servings: 2 cups
Equipment
- 1 pressure cooker
Ingredients
- 1 cup white wheat berries or other wheat berries
- 3 cups liquid- either broth or water
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt- reduce the amount if your broth is salty.
Instructions
- This cooking process could not be simpler, this step-by-step guide will answer any questions you might have.
- Start by rinsing the wheat berries. Typically when you buy them they are pre-rinsed, but I will usually give them another good rinse with cold water to ensure all the dirt and dust is removed. Add the berries, water, and salt to the pressure cooker. Secure the lid and set it to cook on high pressure for 35 minutes. If you like to berries to be really soft, set the cook time to 45 minutes. I like my berries to be just tender and slightly chewy- 35 minutes does that.
- Once the time is up, let the pressure cooker natural release for 10 minutes. Finish releasing the rest of the pressure with a quick release and remove the lid.
- If there is extra liquid, you can either drain it or set it to sauté and let it cook off. Either way works.
- Once it is cooked, the pressure cooker wheat berries are ready to serve.
