Spelt with Onions & Tomatoes - low in Gluten

Spelt is an ancient type of wheat which is making a come back. It's a highly nutritious grain which is lower in gluten than many others and is very versatile making it a great accompaniment to any meal. I also like to add it to soups to bulk it out a bit.

Add a little colour with a wedge of lemon or feta cheese

Spelt with Onion & Tomatoes - a super speedy supper
This is a great emergency supper. I have a couple of these pouches in my cupboard as a food staple the same as the dried herbs and canned tomatoes and puree. The only thing I may be missing is a fresh lemon but a little bit of Jif lemon can come in handy! It may not look much in he bowl but by heck it's tasty and healthy - double win!
