Soak the spelt in cold water overnight. Slice the two onions into thin half rings and sauté in the butter until translucent. Remove half of the onions and set aside. Add the spelt to half of the onion rings, allow them to absorb the butter briefly, and then top up with chicken or vegetable stock. Cover and simmer over low heat for 30 minutes. The spelt should still be firm to the bite. Season with salt, pepper, and chili, and mix in the chopped parsley. Clean and slice the mushrooms. Add them to the remaining onion rings and fry for 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. To serve, scatter the mushrooms over the spelt.
