Baked Spelt Pudding
|
Yield: 6 servings (2/3 cup each)
Source: Cooking Light, May 2003 p. 220
INGREDIENTS:
1/2 c. uncooked spelt (farro) rinsed and drained
4 c. 2% reduced fat milk
1/2 c. sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. ground cardamom
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
Cooking spray
Dash of ground cinnamon
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Place spelt in a medium saucepan. Cover with water to 2 inches above spelt; bring to a boil. Cook 2 minutes; remove from heat. Cover and let stand 1 hour. Drain.
- Place spelt in a food processor; process 45 seconds or until spelt resembles coarse meal.
- Preheat oven to 275.
- Combine spelt, milk, sugar, salt, cardamom, and vanilla bean in a 2 quart casserole coated with cooking spray. (Scrape the inside of the vanilla bean and put the contents of the pod in the casserole. I didn't put the whole bean in there, although you probably could; you'd just have to remove it later.)
- Bake at 275 for 3 1/2 hours, stirring every hour to prevent a skin from forming. Let stand 5 minutes. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Serve warm or chilled.
