Ingredients

  • 250g pouch ready-to-eat mixed grains (we used Merchant Gourmet Wholesome Mix)
  • 200g frozen pea
  • small bunch mint, leaves picked
  • 2 spring onions, whites and greens separated and thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp golden caster sugar
  • ½ vegetable stock cube
  • 140g piece of ham, or thick slices, trimmed of any fat and shredded or finely chopped
  • big handful pea shoots

Method

  • STEP 1

    Heat the grains in the microwave following pack instructions. Put the peas in a sieve and pour over boiling water.

  • STEP 2

    Put 50g of the peas, most of the mint leaves, the spring onion whites, vinegar, sugar and stock cube in a food processor, and blend to a smooth paste, adding a little water if you need to. Divide between 2 soup or pasta bowls.

  • STEP 3

    Divide the remaining peas, hot grains and ham between the bowls and pour over enough boiling water to almost fill the bowls. Stir and leave for 2 mins to heat through.

  • STEP 4

    Stir in the spring onion greens and remaining mint leaves, season well with pepper and top with some pea shoots.
