👨‍🍳 Instruktioner

1
Toast the cracked wheat: Place the 200g of cracked wheat in a dry, medium-sized saucepan or pot over medium heat (approx. 180°C / 350°F). Stir constantly for about 3 minutes, until fragrant and lightly golden. This toasting step enhances the nutty flavor of the wheat.
⏱️ 3 minutes
2
Add liquid and salt: Pour in the 500ml of water or milk and add the 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Stir well to combine, ensuring there are no clumps of wheat.
⏱️ 1 minute
3
Bring to a boil: Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a rolling boil, stirring occasionally.
⏱️ 3-4 minutes
4
Simmer and absorb: Reduce the heat to low (maintain a gentle simmer, approx. 90°C / 195°F). Cover the pot and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until most of the liquid has been absorbed and the cracked wheat is tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking to the bottom of the pot.
⏱️ 15-20 minutes
5
Incorporate niter kibbeh: Remove the pot from the heat. Add the 50g of niter kibbeh and stir vigorously until it's fully melted and incorporated into the porridge. The porridge should become glossy and aromatic.
⏱️ 1 minute
6
Rest and serve: Let the kinche rest, covered, for 2-3 minutes off the heat. This allows the flavors to meld and the porridge to reach a creamy consistency. Serve hot in bowls. Optionally, drizzle with a little extra niter kibbeh or serve with a dollop of spiced berbere butter (niter kibbeh mixed with berbere spice blend).
