Reduce heat to simmer; cover and cook until all water is absorbed (10-15 minutes). When done, the grain appears translucent and the germ ring will be visible.

Add cherry tomatoes & 2 tbsp parsely, cook 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, let cool a few minutes, then add 1 tbsp parsely, lemon juice, balsamic, toss. Sprinkle feta over the top, toss lightly & serve. Serves 4.
