Kamut Delight with Olives & Toms

Recipe

Kamut also known as Khorasan wheat is an ancient grain and the name refers to a historical region in modern-day Iran in the north-east. This wonderful grain is my recent discovery. But it looks like I’m really late to the table as it’s been a staple food in many places around the world such as Italy. They make kamut flower, kamut pasta, to name but a few uses of this grain. I feel that this nutty cereal goes very well with tahini in salads and thus see below a very simple recipe for an outstanding dish!

Prep time: 5 min
Cooking time: 30-40 min
