Cracked Wheat

This recipe serves:  4 6 8

2 tablespoons chopped, fresh parsley
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt to taste

2. Lower the heat and simmer, covered, until the wheat is tender, about 15 minutes.

3. Place a cloth under the lid and let stand 5 minutes. Stir in the olive oil and parsley. Add salt and pepper to taste.
