Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup spelt flakes
  • 1.5 cups water
  • 1 cup broccoli florets

Method

  1. 01

    Rinse spelt flakes or berries under cold water. Spelt flakes cook in 5–7 minutes; berries need 30–35 minutes.

  2. 02

    Cook spelt in 1.5 cups of water until tender and porridge-like, stirring occasionally.

  3. 03

    Cut broccoli into small florets and steam for 7–8 minutes until very soft and bright green.

  4. 04

    Blend steamed broccoli with a splash of water to a smooth puree. Stir into cooked spelt, mixing until well combined. Serve warm.

How to offer

Serve warm. Broccoli is a great first vegetable and pairing it with spelt creates a nutrient-rich meal.

Storage

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Freeze in ice cube trays for up to 1 month.
