Squids with peas and emmer

Clean squids and wash them very well; cut them into rings. Clean, wash and chop onions finely. Wash under running water emmer and drain .
Put all the ingredients but emmer, peas and oil in a large saucepan; season to taste with salt, stir with a wooden spoon and begin cooking over a medium heat, half-covered, stirring now and then. Add emmer after 20 minutes. Keep on cooking, stirring now and then, for about 30-40 minutes; add other hot water only if necessary.
Meanwhile thaw frozen peas following the instructions written in the package. Put them apart. Add them to the soup ten minutes before the end of cooking. Season to taste with salt and continue cooking until fish is tender and cooking juice is well retired.
When you switch off the gas, add extra virgin olive oil, stir and let your soup rest for about 10 minutes. The dish is ready.
