Koliva (wheat berries memorial food)

First of all we boil the wheat berries until they are tender and begin to split. We remove from heat, rinse well, leave it to drain in a sieve for about an hour (if it is summer, put them in the fridge). Then we take a clean sheet or tablecloth and spread them on it to dry. They are ready when they don't stick to the cloth, in about 4 hours.

We roast the almonds, hazelnuts and the sesame as well as the flour, until it gets golden. 

Having done that, we take a large bowl and put the wheat, the nuts and the biscuits (all of which we have ground) together with the aromatic spices.

When everything is well mixed we place the mixture on a tray. We sprinkle the browned flour on the mixture and the sugar on top of that (be careful to never put the sugar in the koliva). 

We take a napkin, open it and press the icing sugar so that it sits everywhere uniformly.
