Ingredients
3/4 cup (90g) natural almonds, roughly chopped
1 tsp Pure Maple Syrup
½ tsp Vanilla Bean Paste
2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
Sea salt flakes, to taste
Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
50g peas, fresh or frozen
100g snow peas, trimmed
100g green beans, trimmed
1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
8 slices prosciutto
Zest and juice of one lemon (45ml)
1 red onion, finely chopped
¼ bunch fresh mint, leaves picked, washed & chopped

Method
STEP 1
Preheat oven to 180C (fan forced). Combine almonds, vanilla, maple syrup, 1 teaspoon of olive oil, salt and pepper in a small bowl and mix to combine. Tip onto a lined baking tray and roast for 15 minutes until golden and aromatic. Allow to cool on tray and break up if pieces become stuck together.
STEP 2
Blanch peas, snow peas, beans and asparagus in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender-crisp, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from boiling water and drain in a colander while running under cold water to stop the cooking process.
STEP 3
Heat remaining olive oil in a small frypan and cook onion until translucent. Add prosciutto and cook until golden and crispy. Remove from frypan and chop roughly.
