Cover with water and if you are cooking the wheat berries in the soup (ble precuit) then add in at this stage and add a cup more water.

Add the lid and cook on a low heat for about 10 minutes (20 mins if with wheat)

Drain the beans and add in the cooked wheat if you have it already cooked and stir in the pesto. Add fleur de sel and black pepper to taste.

Serve with a spinkle of parmesan on the top!
