- 1 pinch ground cardamom
- 4 tbsp spelt groats, freshly ground

Heat the milk, dried fruit and spelt groats in a saucepan, stirring continuously. Then add the ghee and spices and bring everything to the boil briefly. Leave to simmer over a low heat for three to five minutes, depending on whether you want the porridge to be thick or runny.
You can also make this breakfast porridge using any other type of grain. Soak the cracked grains in water for half an hour before cooking. You can add sultanas, dried figs, dates, apricots or plums to taste. Star anise, aniseed, fennel and turmeric also make good spices. Feel free to experiment.
