Spelled porridge on water

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 12 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to cook spelled porridge in water? Prepare all ingredients. Please note that this recipe uses whole spelled grains, not cracked or flaked grains. It is better to use filtered (drinking) water, but you can also use it from the tap. You can cook any amount of spelled, easily calculating the required amount of water. The ratio of cereal and water should be 1:3.

2. STEP 2

   

   Sort through the cereal thoroughly. The easiest way to do this is to pour the cereal onto the work table and, sifting out the debris, collect only whole spelled grains in a bowl. Thus, foreign debris, impurities, rotten grains, and the like will not get into the finished porridge.

3. STEP 3

   

   Rinse the spelled thoroughly under running water; the water should become clear. Then fill the spelled with two glasses of clean water and let the grains swell for at least 2 hours. But if time permits, it is better to leave the spelled to soak all night or all day. I left the spelled to soak overnight.

4. STEP 4

   

   Drain the old water, place the spelled in a sieve and rinse again under water. Then pour the spelled into a non-stick thick bottom pan. Since the porridge will cook for a long time, the non-stick coating will reduce the adhesion of the spelled to the surface it protects. The article on saucepans, link at the end of the recipe, will help you choose the ideal soup pot. Pour two glasses of clean water into the pan again, put the pan with the cereal on the fire and bring the water to a boil.

5. STEP 5

   

   Reduce the heat, cover the pan with a lid and cook the porridge over low heat, stirring it from time to time and monitoring the release of foam. You need to cook until the moisture has completely evaporated. Cooking time can take from 1.5 hours to 2 hours. This is affected by the container you cook in, the spelled grains themselves, and how long you soaked the spelled for.

6. STEP 6

   

   At the end of cooking, salt the spelled porridge to taste and add butter if desired. Stir, then close the pan with a lid and wrap it in a blanket or blanket for 20 minutes. The porridge should rest a little. Place the finished porridge on plates and serve. Bon appetit!

I only knew about spelled grains from “The Tale of the Priest and His Worker Balda.” But I had never seen her and, to be honest, I didn’t even know what she looked like. So when I accidentally saw it in the store, I immediately bought it. Already at home, I found a recipe on the website for spelled porridge with water and decided to cook it for breakfast. In the evening I poured water over the spelt and left it overnight. She soaked for about 11 hours. In the morning, I washed the spelt and set it to boil in two glasses of water. After 40 minutes, the water had almost all boiled away. Since I was cooking porridge for breakfast, I decided to make it sweet and add milk. For 150 grams of spelled I took five teaspoons of sugar, a pinch of salt and a glass of milk. I left the porridge to cook some more. After 20 minutes, the cereal had absorbed almost all the milk. I removed the pan from the heat and wrapped it in a towel to steep (for about 20 minutes). Spelled has a nutty smell and caramel taste. This is absolutely amazing to me. Everyone liked the porridge. Especially children. My daughter has already asked me to cook this porridge again. Nika, thank you very much for the recipe!
