This is not quite a stir-fry, though I do cook it in my wok. The chick peas get soused with the sherry and infused with cumin, and the rocket[, or rather tangle of green things that come in the packet called 'roquette salad' at my supermarket, wilt leggily in the pan. This turns the chorizo and scallops into a feistily elegant main course, and is a useful way of providing a quick, filling, bowl of not-the-usual vegetables whenever you want a boost.]
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon wok oil
2 teaspoons cumin seeds
2 (14-ounce) cans chick peas, drained and rinsed
8 cups roquette/rocket salad
1 teaspoon maldon/kosher salt or 1/2 teaspoon table salt
1/4 cup rich cream sherry
Directions:
1. Heat the oil and cumin seeds in a wok.
2. Add the chick peas, salad, salt and sherry and give a good stir, and continue stirring over heat until the rocket and any other leaves have wilted, the chick peas have warmed through and the liquid has reduced a little.
