- Place a large frying pan over a medium-high heat and add the pancetta. Cook for 4–5 minutes until golden and crisp.
- Add the onion and thyme and cook for a further 4–5 minutes until the onion is soft and translucent.
- Stir in the Merchant Gourmet Quick Cook Spelt and cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring regularly.
- Pour in the white wine and cook until almost fully absorbed.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and begin adding the chicken stock a ladleful at a time, stirring regularly and allowing each addition to absorb before adding the next. Continue until the spelt is tender with a slight bite and the mixture is creamy, about 10–15 minutes.
- Stir through the Parmesan and season to taste with sea salt and black pepper.
- Add the peas and cook for 2–3 minutes until tender and heated through.
- Divide between warm bowls and finish with the chives and an extra grating of Parmesan before serving.
