Pairing principles
What pairs well with Spelt?
Use soft roasted squash, tender greens or a light broth to frame the resilient kernel. A sharp cheese or citrus finish can define a sweet, earthy combination. If serving with game or a rich braise, keep the grain moist enough to carry the sauce without adding excessive fat.
