Step by step this way
  • 1.

    DID YOU KNOW? Alfalfa contains a number of enzymes that help digestion. These sprouts are also a good source of vitamin K, which helps protect your bones.

  • 2.

    Heat a dry frying pan over a medium heat for 1 min. Tip in the peanuts. Toast for 3-4 mins till golden. Shake the pan occasionally. Tip out onto a chopping board. When cooled, roughly chop.

  • 3.

    Peel and grate the ginger. Whisk it with the honey, tamari and 1 tbsp olive oil to make a dressing. Slice the gooseberries as thinly as possibly and add them to the dressing to macerate.

  • 4.

    Shave ribbons off the carrot and courgette using a veg peeler. When you get to the cores, stop and finely chop them.

  • 5.

    Slice the sugar snap peas into long shreds (pods and peas). Place them in a bowl with the carrot and courgette ribbons. Add the alfalfa sprouts and toss together.

  • 6.

    Fold the gooseberries and dressing through the veg. Scatter over the chopped toasted peanuts to serve.
