Spelt Porridge with Roasted Blueberries

Step 1

To make the porridge, blitz the spelt in a blender or food processor for a few pulses. The majority of the grain  should look a bit like steel cut oats with a bit of flour mixed in.

Step 2

Place the spelt in a pan and heat over medium-low heat for a few minutes, just to toast slightly. Add the water and salt, bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook until the spelt is just about tender; 30 to 40 minutes.

Step 3

Measure in the milk and and continue to cook until the spelt is tender and the porridge is to your liking for desired thickness, another 5 to 10 minutes.

Step 4

While the spelt is cooking, heat an oven to 400˚F. Place the blueberries in a roasting pan and bake until the blueberries have released their juices; 15 to 20 minutes.

Step 5

Divide the porridge into two bowls and top with the roasted blueberries along with your favorite toppings. I prefer maple syrup, a drizzle of heavy cream, and hemp seeds.
