Okra & Tomatoes with Kamut

Tip:

How to Cook Kamut: To cook kamut, in a medium pot, bring kamut and liquid to a boil. Use a 1:3 ratio of kamut to water. Once boiling turn heat down to low. Cover pot with foil and lid to trap the steam in. Allow kamut to steam for 45-50 minutes until kamut is tender. Do not stir kamut until it has finished steaming. Keeping the heat on low will prevent kamut on the bottom from burning while cooking.

Reheat leftovers: in the oven or in the microwave.
