Note
Soft wheat can be sold dried or partially cooked. Cooking times vary enormously depending on the type chosen. Be sure to read and follow the instructions on the packaging. Dried soft wheat generally takes up to 1 hour to cook, while Ebly takes only 10 to 20 minutes. The recipe would be just as delicious using brown rice or lentils instead of soft wheat.
