Ancient Grains are taking center stage this week as we take it back to the beginning of time and experiment with grains that remain "unchanged."
Here are a few examples of Ancient Grains:
Farro
Kamut
Spelt
Barley
Blue Corn
Teff
Millet
Quinoa
Amaranth
Wild Rice
Buckwheat
Freekah
Chia
Polenta
Feel free to feature an Ellie Krieger dish using any of these grains as well as any product made with these ingredients (pasta, bread, cereal, flour, etc.)!
We are anxious to see how you decide to "Get Ancient" with us! Please make and post your Ellie Krieger Ancient Grain dish by Sunday, March 6th. Please remember to link a thumbnail image and leave a comment after you link so that we don't miss out on your dish.
