Dirty spelt
8 servings
80 minutes
To make spelt dirty, take clean spelt and add chicken liver to it. The liver will boil over and visually dirty the spelt. The dish will end up looking scary, but liver lovers will appreciate it. You will have to soak the spelt well in advance, otherwise it will take several hours to cook until soft.
