I love this recipe! I was hoping to make it a little healthier! Can red winter wheat berries or hulled barley be used instead of pearled Barley?
Hi, Jen. Mmm, you could but be warned: those guys will need a lot more time to cook and absorb water. We ourselves never tried to use these ingredients in a koliva. If you try it let us know how it went. (We encourage experimenting in the kitchen) Good luck!
