Wash the vegetables and cook them in salted boiling water. Drain them, keeping the water aside, to use as a broth to cook the spelt. In a pan, brown the garlic and onion in a little oil, then pour the spelt and toast it. Add the wine, let it evaporate, and add the water from the vegetables a little at a time. When almost cooked (about 1 hour) add the mixed salad, chopped parsley, dried tomatoes, and chili. Stir and serve.
