    11⁄2 tbsp white miso paste
    2 tsp clear honey
    2 cloves garlic, crushed

    2.Heat the remaining 1 tbsp spread in a saucepan and gently fry the leek with a pinch of salt for 5-6 minutes until soft. Add the grain mix and cook for 1 minute. Tip into a bowl and set aside. Toast the sesame seeds in a dry pan for a few moments till golden, then tip into a bowl and set aside.

    3. Meanwhile, grill the mushrooms for 4 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Toss the grains with the carrot, radishes and avocado and divide between plates. Top with the mushrooms (spooning over any juices), then spoon over the dressing and scatter with sesame seeds to serve.

    Cook’s tip

    Any grain would work well in this salad. Try wild rice or quinoa instead of the grain mix if you prefer.
