Frumenty is a kind of porridge made from wheat boiled in milk. The recipe can be found in Medieval cookbooks, but it's thought that the dish may even date back to prehistoric times. Although it is one of the oldest dishes in the world, frumenty still makes a delicious, warming breakfast.

Place the spelt, raisins and water into your slow cooker and leave it to cook on it's lowest setting for six hours or overnight. By this time, the grains should have absorbed all the water and be sweetened by the raisins.
Soak the grains in water overnight. Drain, place in a pan, add the raisins and just cover with water. Bring to a boil then simmer gently for thirty to forty minutes or until cooked. Check occasionally to see if the water needs topping up. But you want the grains to have soaked up all of the water by the time they're cooked. Like rice, it's good to keep the lid on and allow the grains to steam for five to ten minutes after you've turned the heat off.
