Whole grain spelt semolina porridge with stevia (sweetener, sweet herb, sweet leaf or honey herb) – ideal for diabetics

Dissolve the locust bean gum in cold water and heat it in a saucepan with the soy milk. Add the pinch of salt and the semolina to the pan, stirring constantly with a whisk. Sweeten with liquid stevia, if desired. Alternatively, stir the stevia powder into the semolina porridge until there are no lumps. Simmer the semolina porridge over low heat, stirring constantly, for about 5 minutes. When you notice the semolina porridge starting to stiffen, remove it from the heat. Caution: Do not let it boil! Enjoy the semolina porridge warm or cold. This basic recipe without any other ingredients has 4 BU. Additions and side dishes: Mix the cocoa powder and cinnamon to taste, sprinkle over the semolina porridge or fold into the porridge. I only used some to decorate the semolina porridge; I poured the rest over hot water and drank it. (0.7 BE) Prepare fruit or compote as desired and serve as a side dish. For example, use 1 apple (1 BE) or 1 pot of diet jam (0.8 BE) as a compote substitute. Further tips and information: Locust bean gum and water can be omitted. This is just a little trick to achieve more volume. If you are unfamiliar with the sweetener stevia, you can find out more online. At first, only add a small amount of stevia to the semolina porridge, taste and sweeten if necessary. Do not use too much stevia! This can give the dish a bitter taste! Alternatively, the stevia can be replaced with 3 tablespoons of sugar, but then the BE value given for this recipe is no longer correct. I calculate the BE values ​​as follows: 10 g carbohydrates = 1 BE. The basic recipe yields just over 400 g of semolina porridge, i.e. 100 g of semolina porridge is approximately 1 BE and therefore contains approximately 40 g carbohydrates.
