Serves 1 – 2.

Ingredients:

100g Mild Chilli Munchy Seeds
100g oats
100g walnuts
100g cashews
25g hemp seeds
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp chilli flakes
1 tbsp chilli oil
100ml water

Salad ingredients:

lettuce of choice
radicchio lettuce (or sub for red cabbage)
200g radish
parsley

Maple Mustard vinaigrette ingredients:

1 tsp wholegrain mustard
1 tbsp maple syrup
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp olive oil

Method:

Preheat oven to 200C. Roughly chop walnuts and cashews. Mix all the dry granola ingredients together well. Add the soy sauce, oil and a dribble of water. Mix. Keep adding water until the ingredients are damp and begin to clump together. Spread mixture out on a baking try and bake for 20 mins.

After 20 mins give the mixture a gentle mix. It should begin to form granola clusters so don’t stir too vigorously. Pop back in the oven for another 20 mins until golden brown and crispy. Remove from oven and stir again. You should have some large granola clusters and some smaller individual pieces.

While the granola is baking, top and tail the radishes, chop in halves and place on a second baking tray. Lightly toss is olive oil and sea salt. Place in oven for 25 mins at 200C. They should be beginning to brown, but still have some crunch to them when you take them out of the oven.

Prepare the vinaigrette by mixing all ingredients together. Chop the radicchio in halves (if you’ve got the long thin ones) or quarters (if you’ve got the round ones!). Heat a grill pan on a medium/high heat, and place radicchio on to grill cut side down. Grill for 4-5 mins.

On a bed of lettuce, serve grilled radicchio, roast radishes and granola clusters. Add a generous handful of chopped parsley, as much granola as you like, and finish by drizzling the vinaigrette and add a few extra Mild Chilli Seeds. Enjoy while warm.
