Recipe first for 4 people based on Emmer with tomato - cooking method to boil.
Preparation: For the spelled: carefully wash the spelled under running water, drain it and then put it in a large saucepan. Add twice as much water as the volume of spelled. Bring to the boil over very high heat: when it begins to boil, add a pinch of coarse salt, reduce to low, cover the pan and continue cooking on a flame spreader. Once dry, after about 30-35 minutes of cooking, mix the spelled with a wooden spoon. For the artichoke sauce: over a moderate heat, brown the onion cut into strips in a pan with the oil, add the peeled cherry tomatoes or the tomato puree. Stir and, when it begins to boil, sprinkle with a pinch of fine salt and one of pepper. Also add the artichoke hearts cut into very thin strips, the pitted black olives, the beaten garlic clove and the lemon juice. Cook everything over moderate heat for about 2o-25 minutes. To serve: season with salt, add the parsley, mix well and turn off the heat. Pour the spelled into plates, seasoning it with the sauce and serve immediately.
