Wash Kamut well and soak in fresh clean water for 8 hours or
overnight. I use a strainer in a
bowl for easy rinsing. And feel free to sprout it for a few days if so inclined. Drain off
the water and put the kamut into a medium saucepan. Cover with water by about 1 inch. Add any desired flavorings such as:

|
Teaspoon

Cover the pan, put over medium heat. Set timer for 15 mins. Reduce the heat to low and set timer
for 45 mins. When the kamut is
tender either remove the lid and let the remaining liquid reduce down, or use
the kamut and its broth together or separately in a wide variety of ancient
grain dishes.

kamut yields a generous 4 cups of cooked kamut.

Serve cold, room temp or warm.
As we have done for several years now, we whip up a huge batch of 600 samples to serve at the Natural Products Expo West at the Anaheim Convention Center in early March. Here we are in 2016 and we were a whole ancient grain flavor HIT.

Our favorite moment was with Chef Mark's newest fan, lil River, who had Kamut for the first time and then had another cup.
