Ingredients

For the Kamut Bowl:

• 1 cup Kamut grains
• 4 cups water or vegetable broth
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or almonds)
• 1/4 cup dried fruits (apricots or cranberries)
• Fresh berries for garnish

For the Applejack Zabaglione:

• 4 large egg yolks
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup Applejack brandy
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• A pinch of salt

Cooking Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Kamut

1. Rinse the Kamut grains under cold water to remove any impurities.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine the Kamut, water (or broth), and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
3. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 50-60 minutes, or until the grains are tender but still chewy.
4. Once cooked, drain any excess liquid and stir in olive oil and cinnamon. Mix in chopped nuts and dried fruits for added texture and sweetness.

Step 2: Make the Applejack Zabaglione

1. In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is pale and thick.
2. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method), ensuring the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
3. Gradually add the Applejack brandy while whisking continuously. Continue to whisk until the mixture triples in volume and thickens, about 8-10 minutes.
4. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let it cool slightly before serving.

Step 3: Assemble the Bowl

1. Spoon the prepared Kamut into serving bowls.
2. Drizzle the warm Applejack Zabaglione generously over the Kamut.
3. Garnish with fresh berries and additional nuts or dried fruits if desired.

Cooking Tips

• When selecting Kamut, look for whole grains for the most nutritional benefits.
• Feel free to experiment with different nuts and fruits based on your taste preferences or what’s in season.
• The zabaglione can be prepared ahead of time and gently reheated before serving to save time.
• For a vegan option, substitute the egg yolks with aquafaba (chickpea water) and use a plant-based sweetener for the zabaglione.
