Sage, Apples, Pods and Shrimp with Whole Grains

July 18, 2010 in Main Dish, Seafood, Wheat Berry Recipes by Joyce Bunderson

The flavors in this recipe are very pleasant together; we didn’t add salt and enjoyed the flavors, but you may want a dash of salt. This is a little fancier than ordinary peas and carrots with rice. Sage and parsley are two perennial herbs (plant them once and gather year after year) – somewhat quaint to gather them fresh from the garden!

1 cup fresh spinach, coarsely chopped
4 cups cooked brown rice or wheat berries
