COOK THE GRAINS
Place the grains in a pot with 350ml of salted water and the stock. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat. Allow to simmer for 30-35 minutes, stirring occasionally as the water is absorbed and adding more only if required. On completion, the grain should be al dente. Drain if necessary and season to taste.
DRESSING & TOASTING
In a bowl, combine the pesto with 1 tsp of olive oil. Loosen with the lemon juice (to taste) until drizzling consistency and set aside for serving. Place the pumpkin seeds in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until beginning to pop and turn brown. Remove from the pan on completion.
CRISP THOSE BEANS
Return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, toast the drained cannellini beans for 7-8 minutes until crispy and golden. Only shift them occasionally for the best results. At the halfway mark, stir through ½ the African Rub. Season on completion, remove from the heat and set aside in the pan.
WHILE THE BEANS ARE FRYING…
Coat the baby marrow strips in the remaining African Rub and a little oil. Place a second pan over a high heat (you can use a grill pan if you have one). When hot, grill the strips for 3-5 minutes per side until charred. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside for serving.
MINTY GRAINS & GOLDEN CHEESE
Once the grains have finished simmering, toss through the Peas and ¾ of the chopped mint. Cover with a lid and set aside for 5 minutes until the peas are plump and the grains are cooked. Return the pan to a medium heat with another drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the Halloumi slabs for 1-2 minutes per side until crispy. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside to drain on some paper towel.
EAT YOUR GREENS
Make a bed of rinsed green leaves and spoon over the minty grains. Cover in the cannellini beans, lay over the charred baby marrow, and top with the grilled Halloumi. Garnish with the remaining chopped mint, the toasted pumpkin seeds and drizzles of pesto dressing. Now tuck in, Chef!
COOK THE GRAINS
Place the grains in a pot with 700ml of salted water and the stock. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat. Allow to simmer for 35-40 minutes, stirring occasionally as the water is absorbed and adding more only if required. On completion, the grain should be al dente.

CRISP THOSE BEANS
Return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, toast the drained cannellini beans for 8-10 minutes until crispy and golden. Only shift them occasionally for the best results. At the halfway mark, stir through ½ the African Rub. Season on completion, remove from the heat and set aside in the pan.
