End of Winter Sprouted Spelt with Hella Smoked Chili Bitters

Finally the end of winter.  Inspired by the beautiful Drew Gardens and Hella Smoked Chili Bitters, I made my self a sprouted spelt with a smoked chili ragu.  The recipe is very easy, but it takes a little planning because the spelt takes 2 days to sprout.  Once it is sprouted it takes 20 minutes to cook.

Sprouted Risotto with Tomato Ragu
Recipe for 2 as follows:
Ingredients:
  • 1 large shallot, finely chopped
  • 1 Tbs. coconut oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, smashed
  • 6 plum tomatoes,  finely chopped
  • 2 Tbs. Hella Smoked Chili Bitters
  • 3 Tbs. coarsely chopped parsley
  • 1 cup mushrooms, chopped
  • 1/4 cup peas
  • 1 tsp. chipotle chili, ground
  • 1 cup dried spelt
Directions:
Sprout the spelt for 2 days or until tender.
In a Sauce pan, Heat oil then add the garlic, onions and mushrooms until brown.
Add the sprouted spelt, peas, diced tomatoes, parsley, chipolte chili and Hella Bitters to the ragu mixture.
