 1 Red bell pepper
 ½ Zucchini
 ½ Eggplant
 ½ White onion
 40 Arugula
 75 Water
 50 Olive oil
 3 Pepper
Directions
1

For the grain: Peel and chop the onion. Sweat it in a tablespoon of olive oil. Add the grain, mix, and coat everything in olive oil.

2

Add 3/4 of boiling water, stir, and simmer for about 20 minutes.

3

When the water has evaporated, add the remaining water and continue cooking over low heat for another 15 minutes.

4

For the preparation of the vegetables: While the grains are cooking, wash all the vegetables. Slice the zucchini and dice the eggplant. Cut the bell pepper into small cubes.

5

Brown the slices of zucchini and eggplant in a pan with a little olive oil. Add a small pinch of pepper and set aside.

6

Sauté the diced peppers in the same pan for a few minutes. Add the diced eggplant to the pan with the spelt and then mix. Toast the pine nuts in a dry pan and set them aside.

7

Wash and dry the arugula. Cut the cheese into thin slices.

8

For the presentation: Roll slices of zucchini to make small rolls.

9

Place a layer of spelt grains with diced eggplant in a deep plate.

To finish, add the zucchini rolls, diced bell peppers, a few toasted pine nuts, nice slices of cheese, and finish with arugula leaves.
