Wheat with vegetables
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Place the wheat grains in a saucepan. Add water, cover with a lid, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to the lowest setting and simmer until tender, for at least 40 minutes. Drain the water and set aside. Fill a large bowl with ice and water, and set aside. Bring water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add broccoli and blanch until bright green, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to the ice water bowl and set aside. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, sautéing while stirring until translucent, about 10 minutes. Increase heat to medium and add tomatoes, oregano, zucchini, eggplants, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring, until vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes. Add broccoli and wheat, and continue cooking for about 3 minutes. Serve immediately. The prepared dish is ready to be served.
