RECIPE


With warmer days upon us, we tend to lean more towards lighter meals and salads are often the perfect option. But instead of a green salad, why not enjoy a whole grain salad?


Whole grains, such as spelt, kamut, and wheat can all be boiled and used whole as a base for so many delicious easy salads.


This is one of our favorite recipes. And with peaches and corn coming into season, it is a perfect choice for spring and summer. But don't be bound by just these options for your grain salad. Let this be an inspiration for adding in your favorites, such as green onions, red peppers, snow peas and more. And certainly, get creative with your oil and vinegar choices for your dressing.


Remember "Recipes are just a suggestion".


SPELT SALAD WITH CORN


This recipe would be delicious using Lemon Infused Olive Oil and Peach Infused Balsalmic by Olivelle instead of the lemon juice and olive oil.


  • 2 cups whole, hulled spelt
  • 3 cups vegetable stock
  • 2 t. salt
  • 2 cups fresh shelled peas
  • 2 cups yellow corn kernels
  • 6 T. fresh lemon juice
  • 2/3 cup extra virgin olive
  • ¼ t. black pepper
  • 1 cup cubed peaches
  • 1 cup diced red bell pepper
  • 1 cup chopped scallion
  • 3 T. minced shallot
  • 2 t. ground cumin
  • 2 t. minced fresh mint


Rinse and drain spelt. In a pot with a tight fitting lid, mix spelt, vegetable stock, and ½ t. salt. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 1 hour and 15 minutes. Remove from heat. Add peas and corn; cover and set aside to cool


*Pressure cooker option: In 4 qt or larger pressure cooker or skillet pressure cooker, combine spelt, vegetable stock and ½ teaspoon salt. Over high heat, bring to a boil.


Stir and lock pressure lid into place. Bring pressure up to second pressure indicator ring. 


Reduce heat to maintain pressure. Pressure cook 18-20 minutes.


Remove from heat and let pressure naturally release.


Open the pressure lid and add peas and corn. Cover and set aside to cool.


Meanwhile, in a small bowl, dissolve remaining 1 ½ t. salt in lemon juice. Stir in oil and pepper. Set aside. (or infused oil and vinegar)


In a large bowl, toss cooled spelt mixture with peaches, peppers, scallion, shallots, and cumin. Toss with reserved dressing. Add mint garnish. 


Makes about six – eight servings.

David Becker ran the Becker’s bakery for many years until it closed. He is excited to help you learn to make bread from freshly milled flour. He will walk you through mixing up bread dough in the Ankarsrum mixer then stirring up your own personalized muffins.


While the muffins bake you will roll out your bread dough into a loaf of bread, basic rolls and cinnamon rolls with icing. While these rise you will have a chance to ask questions, enjoy your muffins and look around the Bread Beckers' store.

You will have your own station with an Ankarsrum and all tools and baking ingredients supplied, that you can either share with a friend or spouse or work alone. 


You will leave with all the bread you make and haven’t eaten!

This will be a fun, informal hands on class – just what you have been asking for.

Co-ops are a great way to get your grains and other supplies that are just too expensive to ship any other way. Current co-op shipping rates range from 15 cents to 18 cents per pound (depending on distance from our warehouse) when we deliver on our own truck, compared to UPS rates that can be around 75 cents a pound and more!
