Grind the green spelt and roast it in butter or oil, then pour in the water and add the soup seasoning, herb salt, bay leaves, mustard, paprika, pepper, herbs, and soy sauce. Let it swell for 20 minutes. If you like, you can pre-cook the carrots and add them to the mixture as well. Mix in the cheese and egg, season to taste, form flat patties, and coat them in whole-wheat breadcrumbs. The pineapple rings should fit on top. Bake for 20-25 minutes in a preheated oven at 200 degrees Celsius. Then place a pineapple ring and a slice of cheese on each patty and bake for another 15 minutes. Meanwhile, simmer a sauce made from the ajvar, milk, and spices. Makes about eight patties. Serve with salad.
