Instructions

1. Roast the green spelled meal in a pan without fat until it has turned a little darker. Add the vegetable stock and stir in, bring the mixture to the boil and remove from the heat. Let it soak for about 20-30 minutes.
2. Chop the onions and garlic and puree the tomatoes (not too fine). Sweat the onions and garlic in oil. Add the green spelled mixture, season with a little chilli and fry briefly and deglaze with the tomatoes and about 600 ml of water.
3. Now is the first seasoning: I take about 2 - 3 tablespoons of sugar, a little cinnamon (I put the cinnamon can on the small holes and shake it about 2 - 3 times), chili (not too much), 1 Teaspoon cocoa, 2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, 1 tablespoon broth. It is better to be careful with the chilli, as you can only taste it after a certain amount of cooking time.
4. Bring to the boil and simmer on a low level for about 30 minutes. You have to stir a little more often, as the green spelled settles on the bottom of the pot relatively quickly.
5. Drain the corn and kidney beans and stir in. Try and, if you feel like it, season again with the spices just mentioned. I usually take the same amount of cinnamon and cocoa again, chili is also added again if it is not yet slightly spicy, but it shouldn`t be too spicy overall. Let simmer for about 60 minutes, if necessary season again with the spices just mentioned.
6. I then put creme fraîche (for the non-vegans) and Tabasco on the table so that everyone can refine their own portion. With creme fraîche you can soften the sharpness, with Tabasco you can strengthen it. Both taste great together too.
7. Bread, pasta and rice are great accompaniments, but I liked it best with cooked polished spelled.
8. Don`t be afraid of the cinnamon and cocoa. The cinnamon in particular tastes and smells very strongly immediately after seasoning, but that goes away again when you cook it. That`s why the whole thing is not seasoned just once at the beginning or at the end, but several times so that you can still adjust it.
9. If at any point during the cooking the whole thing becomes too thick, simply add another 250-500 ml of water. It tastes best when warmed up the next day.
