Instructions
Working time approx. 30 minutes; Total time approx. 30 minutes
tried and tested with daycare children, they were thrilled…
Place the green spelt in a bowl and pour boiling water over it, mix well, and let it soak for at least 2 hours. I sometimes make it in the evening and let it soak until the next morning. Add the egg and stir in, along with the grated Parmesan cheese and the raw, shredded carrots. Season well with the spices (feel free to try it raw, meaning unbaked; salt works wonders for the flavor). Garlic is fine, but not necessary. For herbs, you can use thyme or fresh parsley, depending on your taste. I usually use 1/2 teaspoon for my day-care children, but a little more for adults. For an adult flavor, you can also add a little chili or not-too-hot diced peppers. If the mixture is too thick and therefore slightly crumbly, you can add more egg or increase the amount of water. Form the mixture into about 7-8 “meatballs” and fry them gently in clarified butter until browned on both sides. Cook very slowly, as they burn easily. Serve with a fresh tomato sauce or a garlic yogurt sauce for a complete meal for dwarfs.
