Bring the spelt to a boil with 400 ml of water, cover, and simmer over low heat for about 1 hour. Turn off the stove and let it swell for another 1 hour. Peel and finely chop the onion. Wash the thyme and strip the leaves from the stalks. Blanch the tomatoes in boiling water, rinse with cold water, and peel them. Then cut the stalks into small cubes. Heat the oil in a saucepan. Sauté the onion and thyme over medium heat. Add the spelt. Stir in the tomatoes and season with salt and cayenne pepper. Simmer uncovered over medium heat for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, crumble the cheese. Mix the cream into the spelt, sprinkle with the feta cheese, and serve.
