Instructions

Rinse the spelled under cold running water and drain in a sieve until dry.
Heat a pan over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and 1 tablespoon ghee.
Add the spelled and fry for 2-3 minutes. Pour in boiling water (2 cups per 1 cup spelled), cover and cook for 35 minutes. The grains must stay soft but intact — do not let them brown.
While the spelled cooks, cut the onion into small cubes and the mushrooms into quarters (halve small ones).
In a separate pan, melt 1 tablespoon ghee with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Fry the onion for 2 minutes, then add mushrooms and fry for 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
Season with salt to taste.
Combine the mushrooms with the spelled, adjust seasoning and serve.
