Spelt & Pumpkin

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup spelt flakes or berries
• 1.5 cups water
• 1/2 cup pumpkin peeled and cubed

Method

1. 01

   Rinse spelt berries or use spelt flakes for a quicker cook. Spelt berries need 30–35 minutes in 1.5 cups of water; spelt flakes cook in 5–7 minutes.

2. 02

   Cook spelt in water over medium-low heat until tender and porridge-like, stirring occasionally.

3. 03

   Peel, deseed, and cube fresh pumpkin. Steam for 12–15 minutes until completely tender.

4. 04

   Blend cooked pumpkin to a smooth puree and stir into the cooked spelt. Adjust consistency with water as needed. Serve warm.

How to offer

Serve warm. Pumpkin adds a creamy sweetness and beautiful orange colour to the spelt porridge.
