Does anyone have any recipes using whole wheat as a grain, similar to
rice or barley?

Make a wheat kasha. Soak the wheat grains in water for at least 12
hours. Drain the water and cook the kasha in milk for 20-30 minutes
until it is ready and the milk has mostly evaporated/absorbed. Mix in
some yoghurt and refrigerate overnight. Instead of yoghurt, you can mix
in some butter and some finely minced onions, sautéed or raw, in which
case you can eat the kasha at once.
