Reflection:
Infrastructure systems don’t exist in isolation. Water, energy, and transportation must work together—just as ingredients must harmonize for the dish to succeed.

Step 4: Building the Foundation
While the stew simmers, cook your whole grain in a separate pot. Bring water or broth to a boil, add grain and salt, reduce heat, and simmer until tender.

Steel-cut oats: ~25 minutes
Barley: ~30–40 minutes
Farro: ~35 minutes

Symbolism:
A strong foundation absorbs stress without collapsing. Whole grains provide steady energy, just as sound infrastructure supports daily life without constant failure.

Step 5: Maintenance and Adjustment
Taste the stew. Adjust salt, pepper, or spices. Add greens in the final 5 minutes for freshness and nutrients.

Lesson:
Maintenance matters. Infrastructure plans fail without ongoing inspection. Recipes fail without tasting and adjusting.

Step 6: Assembly and Service
Spoon the hearty stew over the whole-grain base. Garnish with herbs or a drizzle of olive oil.

Serve warm, filling, and dependable.
