Cracked wheat

(Note: When preparing cracked wheat to be used as a meat extender, sift the cracked wheat before cooking it to get a less-mushy effect.)

1. Combine in a pot:
   • 1 c. cracked wheat
   • 2½ c. water
2. Bring to a boil.
3. Cover and cook on low for 10-20 min.
4. Can be stored in the refrigerator for two weeks.

Makes 4 cups.

As a meat extender: use 50% cracked wheat with 50% hamburger.

For added texture: add cracked wheat to tuna salad, egg salad, etc.

To use like rice in fried rice, Spanish rice, pilaf, etc., rinse and drain the cooked cracked wheat before using in a recipe to get a fluffier effect.
