Instructions

1. Rinse the spelled under cold running water and drain in a sieve until dry.
2. Heat a pan over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and 1 tablespoon ghee.
3. 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.
4. While the spelled cooks, cut the onion into small cubes and the mushrooms into quarters (halve small ones).
5. 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.
6. Season with salt to taste.
7. Combine the mushrooms with the spelled, adjust seasoning and serve.
