• Oct. 16, 2007 - Roman Meal
So, you saw all my grains. Have you made your guesses yet? I have the answer post ready to go...
What do you do with all those grains, you may ask. Here's one thing we enjoy!
Roman Meal
6 cups oats, rolled
1 cup EACH spelt, wheat, rye, kamut, rolled
2 cups wheat bran
1/2 cup flax seeds
Mix well and store in the freezer. To use, Boil 6 2/3 cups water and 1 1/2 tsp salt. Stir in 2 1/2 cups of Roman Meal and cook 10-15 minutes. Season as desired with butter, coconut oil, maple syrup, cinnamon, etc.
You may also grind the mix in the blender and whisk it into the boiling water for a more instant cereal. Cook only 1 minute. Let stand 5 minutes before seasoning.
You may also be Nourishing Traditions friendly by soaking your mix overnight in the water and a few Tbsp. of whey. I haven't done this, though, so get out your big yellow book for the specific method!
Here are the grains after measuring and mixing, before rolling:

Here are the grains, the bran and the flax seeds.

Roll those grains!

After rolling the grains, add the bran and the flax seeds and mix well.
Here's the finished product, ready for storage or cooking!
I store mine in generic zippy bags in the freezer. What do you store frozen things in? I'd love to move away from plastic.

Blessings,
