Wheat Boiled with Chickpeas

At the end of harvest, women in Anatolian villages used to boil freshly harvested wheat with chickpeas to make hedik. Walnuts from the autumn harvest can add a unique flavor, but any nuts can be used to garnish, including pistachios, almonds, and hazelnuts. Some serve hedik with its liquid while others prefer to strain and serve it like pilaf. You can make it more savory or sweet, depending on your garnish.
