Wheat Berries & Spam

3 C. wheat grain/wheat berries
Water to cover the wheat
2 T. peanut oil
1 can Spam ham, cut into ½” cubes
1 tsp. minced garlic
1/2 red bell pepper cut in small cubes
1 C. water
1 tomato cut in small cubes
1/2 C. chives, chopped finely
1/2 C. cilantro, chopped small

Cover the wheat with water and set aside for one hour or until the water is absorbed. Heat the oil and the garlic, stirring to prevent garlic from burning. Add spam and bell pepper, continuing to sauté and stirring gently. Add the hydrated wheat berries, mix well, and continue to cook. Add 1 C. water, cover and lower heat to medium-low. Cook about 15 minutes, until wheat berries are soft and dish is heated through. Stir in chives and cilantro, and serve garnished with the tomatoes.
