Kamut And Roasted Vegetables Recipes

KAMUT BERRY PILAF WITH BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Place kamut berries in a small sieve and rinse under cold running water. Transfer kamut berries to a medium saucepan and add enough water to cover by 2 inches; generously salt water. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer until tender, adding more water as necessary, about 2 hours. Drain and transfer to a large bowl.
• Meanwhile, place cauliflower and squash on two separate rimmed baking sheets; drizzle each with 2 tablespoons olive oil and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to oven and roast until golden and slightly crisp, about 15 minutes for cauliflower and 30 minutes for squash.
• Heat remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add onions and shallots; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden, but not browned, about 15 minutes.
• Increase heat to medium-high and add mustard seeds, curry powder, cumin, and cayenne pepper; continue cooking until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add sherry vinegar, stirring from bottom of pan to deglaze, and cook 2 minutes more.
• Remove from heat and add to bowl with kamut berries along with the lemon juice; stir to combine. Add cauliflower and squash; toss to combine. Just before serving, add parsley leaves and almonds; gently toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper; serve warm or at room temperature.

KAMUT AND ROASTED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Make the toasted spiced pepitas: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl, toss to combine pumpkin seeds and oil. Spread seeds out evenly on a small rimmed baking sheet and bake until golden and crisp, about 15 minutes. Transfer toasted seeds to a small bowl, add coriander, and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
• Make the kamut: Soak kamut in water for 8 hours or up to overnight. Drain and place in a medium saucepan with a tight-fitting lid. Add stock and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until kamut is tender, about 40 minutes. Remove from heat and drain.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place squash, carrots, shallots, 2 tablespoons oil, and 2 teaspoons coriander seeds in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper and toss to combine. Spread vegetables in one layer on a large parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Transfer to oven and roast until vegetables are golden brown and tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl along with kamut.
• In a large bowl, whisk together vinegar, lemon zest and juice, and remaining 3 tablespoons oil and 2 tablespoons coriander seeds; season with salt and pepper. Add vegetable-and-kamut mixture and gently toss to combine. Stir in watercress, transfer to a large serving platter, and sprinkle with reserved pepitas.
