SPELT SUPERGRAIN!
Rinse the spelt and place in a pot. Submerge in 300ml of water and bring to the boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and allow to simmer for 25-30 minutes. Stir occasionally as the water is absorbed, only adding more if required during the cooking process. On completion, the grain should be al dente. Drain if necessary and season to taste. Cover with a lid and set aside to keep warm.
PECAN BRITTLE
Boil the kettle. Combine the honey with 5ml of oil. If the honey is too hard to mix, pop it in the microwave for 5-10 seconds before combining. Place the pecan pieces in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until golden brown, shifting occasionally. Pour in the honey and oil mixture and stir for about a minute to coat the pecans. On completion, place in a bowl and set aside while the honey hardens. Roughly chop when cool enough to handle. Rinse and wipe down the pan.
TAHINI DRESSING & PLUMP PEAS
Combine the tahini with the white wine vinegar to taste. Mix in 1 tbsp of olive oil and 1 tbsp of water to form a drizzling consistency. Season to taste and set aside for serving. Submerge the peas in boiling water for 2 minutes until heated through. Drain on completion.
MOROCCAN-SPICED SIRLOIN
When the spelt has 5 minutes to go, return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the steak dry with some paper towel. When the pan is hot, sear the steak fat-side down for 3-5 minutes until the fat is crispy. Then, cook each side for 2-4 minutes, or until cooked to your preference. (The time this takes will depend on the thickness of the steak.) During the final 1-2 minutes, baste the steak with the Moroccan Rub to taste. Remove from the pan and set aside to rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Lightly season the slices.
ASSEMBLE THE SPELT SALAD
Toss the cooked spelt together with the baby marrow ribbons, warm peas, and rinsed green leaves. Add three-quarters of the chopped mint and season to taste.
