How to cook spelt porridge in a multicooker
Porridge made from semi-wild wheat can serve as an excellent side dish or a base for various dishes. It is increasingly used for creating pilaf, risotto, vegetable sauté, casseroles. Spelt grain pairs well with carrots, nuts, eggplants, ham, dried fruits, and even meat dishes.
Spelt grains are much healthier than wheat porridge, and their taste is more intense. It has a pleasant nutty aroma. The only "minus" of this grain is the long cooking process, as the grains have a dense structure and cook slowly during heat treatment.
To make the process of creating spelt porridge easier, you can prepare it in several ways. One of them is pre-soaking the grains in cold water. Leaving this preparation overnight will significantly save you time during cooking.
Another simple (and the easiest) option of the recipe, is to cook spelt in a multicooker. Thanks to this kitchen gadget, the entire process will be easy and simple. By pouring spelt into the bowl, adding oil and water, you will only need to set the correct mode and cooking time. In just 100-120 minutes, you will be able to serve a fragrant and mega-healthy porridge at the table.
