Method

  1. Heat half the oil in a wide heavy-based pan (with a lid) over a medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook for 8 minutes, stirring often, until lightly golden. Set aside.
  2. Add the remaining oil to the pan, turn down the heat to medium, add the onions, cover with the lid and cook for 6 minutes, stirring now
    and again to prevent them burning.
  3. Add the garlic, cook for another minute, then stir in the spelt. Turn the heat to medium-high, then add the stock a ladleful at a time, only adding more when the previous ladleful has been absorbed. Keep adding the stock until the spelt is cooked through and tender (you might not need all the stock). 
  4. Meanwhile, heat the grill to high. Grill the chicory for 5 minutes until lightly charred around the edges, then add them to the spelt with the mushrooms and cranberries, then stir until warmed through. Add the lemon juice and coriander, and season to taste. Drizzle with tahini to serve.
