Preparation

Step 1

*Soak* grain in hot water for one hour. *Add* grain, water and salt to small round slow cooker, *cover* and cook on *high* for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, until tender but still chewy.

*Combine* oil, vinegar and garlic in a bowl large enough to hold everything and *stir* in the drained, still warm grains. *Cover* and set aside until room temperature then *stir* in the remaining ingredients. *Serve* at room temp.

*I* served it with tuna confit and tapenade and it played very nicely off of the flavours alread in the tapenade.
