- Spelt is a variety of wheat, and each grain is wrapped in its own protective hull. That hull helps keep contaminants out of the grain itself, even when the crop isn't grown in the cleanest of soils. Eating spelt regularly can help normalize blood sugar and supports both digestion and heart health. It's also naturally low in gluten, which makes it gentler on sensitive stomachs, and it's good for the nervous system and memory, too. 1. Pick over the spelt and discard any damaged grains. Put it in a bowl, cover with water, and let it soak overnight; the grains will plump up. 2. In the morning, drain and rinse the spelt a couple of times. Transfer the clean grain to a saucepan and cover with water — use a 1:3 ratio, so about 5 cups (1.2 liters) of water for 400 g of spelt — then set it over the heat. 3. When the water comes to a boil, salt to taste and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 25–30 minutes. 4. Peel the garlic and press it through a garlic press. Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat; once it's good and hot, add the garlic and fry, stirring, for 1–2 minutes. 5. Rinse the parsley and chop it finely. Drain the liquid from the mushrooms. 6. Stir the fragrant garlic oil into the cooked spelt. Add the pickled mushrooms and parsley, season with pepper, and toss again. Divide into bowls and serve. Enjoy, and here's to your health!
