Ingredients
- 75g dwarf beans, trimmed
- 3 x Spanish mini cooking chorizo, sliced
- ½ x 250g pouch pre-cooked mixed grains or lentils
- 50g mixed olives, pitted
- 50g pomodorino or cherry tomatoes, halved
- 25g wild rocket
- 25g feta, crumbled
Step by step
- Bring a small pan of salted water to the boil. Add the beans and cook for 2 minutes. Drain, rinse with cold water and set aside.
- Meanwhile place a small frying pan over a medium heat. Add the chorizo (no need for oil) and fry for 5 minutes, turning every so often until golden brown and slightly charred. Add the beans to the pan and stir to warm through.
- Cook the grains according to pack instructions. Tip into a bowl and stir through the olives, tomatoes and rocket. Finally, toss through the chorizo and its oil, along with the beans. Season to taste. Spoon the grains onto a plate and top with the feta. Finish with ground black pepper.
