Summary
Kamut is chewy and buttery tasting, but its big turnoff is that it takes hours to make. For this comfort-food dish, we throw everything in a slow cooker so you can start it in the morning and forget about it until you return from work. With the addition of blue cheese, all that’s missing is a seared steak and a good glass of wine.
What to buy: Kamut berries can be found at your local health food store, gourmet grocery store, or online. If you can’t find it, you can use farro, spelt, or wheat berries instead.
