Spring broth with spelt

Ingredients

1.5 litres vegetable stock

100g pearled spelt (I tracked this down in Waitrose Bloomsbury - not sure where you can get it in Leicester)

300-400g mixed root veg, peeled & diced (I used turnip & potato - about 450g total)

12 kale leaves (I used the quantity from the ½ share harvest on 24.03.12 - about 100g)

seasoning - salt & pepper to taste, and maybe a splash of olive oil to serve

Directions

1. In a large pan bring the stock to the boil
2. Add the spelt & simmer for 10 mins
3. Add the root veg & simmer for a further 10 mins until both spelt & veg are tender but not mushy
4. Add the kale & simmer for 2 mins
5. Season to taste
6. Enjoy!

This recipe tastes even better made with vegetables from Community Harvest Whetstone :)
