• How to make spelt
• Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat.

  Add the garlic and let it brown.

  Next goes in the spelt. Stir around to toast it, which enhances the nutty flavor.

  Add half the chicken broth and stir. Cook for about 10 minutes. You want to cook the spelt in the stock, but you don't want it to be soupy. You may need less broth as you go along.

  When the first half of the stock is absorbed, start adding more, a little at a time, until the spelt is moist and chewy. Don't worry if there is still a bit of stock in the pot.

Vegetables

• Heat the olive oil in a frying pan. 

  Add the vegetables and some salt. Saute until soft and caramelized.

   If the vegetables are cooking too fast, turn down the heat. Resist the temptation to add more oil to prevent the vegetables from sticking. Instead add a little bit more stock or even a bit of water to help them cook. 

  Add the cooked vegetables to the pot of spelt.Then give it a good mix.

  Toast the nuts in a frying pan until fragrant. Let cool.

  Add in the chopped herbs to the vegetables and spelt and mix.

  After it has cooled a bit, add in the toasted nuts, mix and serve.
