1 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup wheat berries
1/2 onion, finely diced 

1 thyme sprigs
4 cups chicken stock 

Salt & pepper

In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil. Cook the wheat berries over moderate heat, stirring, until lightly toasted; the grains will turn slightly opaque just before browning. The grains dance around the pan as they cook.

Add the onion and thyme and cook over low heat, stirring, until the onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Add the stock then bring to a boil. Cover and cook over very low heat until the water is absorbed and the grains are tender about 1 hour. Fluff the grains and discard the thyme sprigs. Season the grains with salt and pepper to taste.
