Soak the wheat, chickpeas, and dried white beans in separate bowls of water for 8 hours.
Drain the legumes and wheat, then place them in a pot with hot water and salt.
Cook hedik over low heat for 70 minutes, until the wheat opens.
Add the granulated sugar and cook for 10 more minutes, stirring until the texture comes together.
Coarsely crush the walnuts and prepare them with the cinnamon for serving.
Divide the hedik into bowls and sprinkle with walnuts and cinnamon.
💡 Tip: Soak the wheat overnight; a short soak leaves the grains firm, and hedik should feel soft yet substantial on the spoon.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hedik warm, with unsweetened tea and pomegranate seeds if desired for a crowded day table.
