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.
