GET THE SPELT ON THE GO
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Rinse the spelt, place in a pot with the stock, and submerge in 250ml of water. Stir through, pop on a lid, and place over a medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer with the lid slightly ajar for 30-40 minutes until tender but still bouncy. Stir occasionally as the water is absorbed, only adding more if required during the cooking process. Remove from the heat on completion and drain if necessary.
POP THE Chicken IN TO ROAST
Place the Chicken on a roasting tray and pat dry with paper towel. Coat in oil, half of the Mexican spice blend, and seasoning to taste. Roast in the hot oven for 30-35 minutes until cooked through and becoming crispy. Place the halved baby tomatoes in a bowl with a drizzle of oil and some seasoning. Toss to coat and set aside for step 4.
MEXI VEGGIES
Place a pan over a high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the Corn for 3-4 minutes until charred. Stir through the remaining Mexican spice blend, the white spring onion slices, and the drained black beans. Fry for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and heated through. Remove the pan from the heat and cover to keep warm until serving.
BLISTERED TOMATOES
When the Chicken reaches the halfway mark, remove the tray from the oven and scatter around the dressed baby tomatoes. Return to the oven for the remaining roasting time until blistered.
