Serves 2-3
- 350ml chicken/vegetable stock
- 50g buckwheat
- 50g quinoa
- 100g Kerry’s Fresh green beans
- 4 parma ham slices (add more if you wish!)
- Juice of a lemon
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 Kerry’s Fresh ripe, juicy peaches (cut into thick chunks)
- 50g Kerry’s Fresh rocket
- 125g mozzarella (torn)
- A handful of Kerry’s Fresh mint leaves
- Heat the stock in a pan, then add the buckwheat and quinoa. Bring back to the boil and cook for 10-15 minutes until the grains are tender, adding the beans/sugar snaps for the final 1-2 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool.
- Meanwhile, dry-fry the parma ham over high heat for 1 minute or until beginning to crisp (it will turn completely crisp once cooled). Transfer to a plate and set aside.
- Combine the lemon juice, olive oil and a generous sprinkling of salt and pepper in a large bowl, then add the cooled grain mixture. Add the peaches, rocket, mozzarella, mint and half the crispy parma ham, roughly broken, and toss together. Pile onto a platter and top with the remaining crispy ham pieces. Serve straightaway!
