“Bavarian rice” with roasted beets and carrots

Last weekend we had this interesting dish from the Fork Ranger website. It was lovely, featuring beet root, carrot, mushrooms, brown lentils, walnuts and yogurt. The one thing I found a bit weird at first was the fresh mint in the yogurt but after a while I got used to it. I’ve eaten minty yogurt many times before but usually with dried mint, that’s apparently somehow different to my palate 🤨

We used pearled spelt instead of bulgur but the rest was pretty much as per the recipe. Pearled spelt is something I came across in my life in the UK and I was trying for quite a while to find something like that here. Eventually I did, and to my surprise it’s marketed as Bavarian rice. Yes, it’s spelt - but polished -, and it really is quite a bit like rice. You can even cook it just like rice.
