Savoury porridge is my true weakness. They make such a good breakfast and keep you going
for pretty much all day. Here in England people don't tend to
understand how much better a savoury porridge is, and they keep
adding their sugars and honeys and berries to porridge. Well not me!
I made this pearled spelt oven porridge, which takes a bit of time to
prepare, but the result is totally worth it. It's the perfect weekend
breakfast for me. I normally make this from pearled barley, but now
tried with spelt and it was very good too. Have a look at my easy
recipe!
Ingredients
1 cup pearled
spelt
1 pint milk + some
extra for eating
2 tsp salt
Method
Soak the pearled
spelt in water overnight.
Next morning
pre-heat the oven to 200 C.
Drain the spelt,
put it into an oven dish, season with salt and cover with milk.
Reduce the heat of
the oven to about 180 C after 10-15 minutes when the milk is slowly
simmering.
Bake the porridge
for about one hour until the spelt is cooked and most of the milk is
absorbed.
The porridge will
have a crust made from milk. This can be removed before eating, if
you like, but it's fully edible.
Add some cold milk
to the hot porridge and enjoy!
The ingredients
for this dish are simple and once again, this is a total budget
recipe, so I'm sharing this with Credit Crunch Munch hosted by
From Plate to Pen this month and co-hosted by Fuss Free Flavours and Fab Food 4 All.
