Spelled salad with oven-dried tomatoes
Spelt salad with oven-dried tomatoes
This spelt salad is made extra special because it is topped with long-baked oven-dried tomatoes. By drying tomatoes in the oven, they become packed with flavor! After a few hours in the oven at low heat, they are "semi-dried", chewy with a good bite but still juicy. Since it takes a while to make oven-dried tomatoes, it is recommended to make a large batch when you are going to start anyway. One tip is to use the residual heat from the oven if it has been running in connection with other cooking. And then the oven-dried tomatoes just need to cool down and then put in a container in the refrigerator. Here they can keep well for about a week. 
Easy meal for one
This spelt salad uses a single can of spelt grains, which is the perfect amount for a meal for one. It's smart to have the small cans in stock. For when you don't have the time or energy to cook and cool grains and legumes, because they can be used directly in both hot and cold dishes. And they're perfect to have on the go. For example, if you want to add a little extra protein and fiber to your lunch, especially because they can be used directly from the can.
