Spelt with Chorizo

From Rukmini Iyer’s The Roasting Tin: Spelt with Chorizo, Sweet Potato, Red Onion and Spinach. 

My attempt was a little light on the spinach side as the bag came as 240g, not 300. I had 200g chorizo left, not 220. I dug out a packet of barley from a previous recipe as couldn’t find spelt in the supermarket. I put the spinach in too early. Prep took me 40 mins, not 15. I made an extra 200 ml of stock, but when that went into the roasting tin it still didn’t rest above the level of the mixture. It still came out a little dry. I gave it more water and another 10 mins. 

Tasted great though. Chorizo was the standout ingredient.
