Tu B’shvat is coming up later this month. It’ is customary to eat dishes containing fruits ideally indigenous to Israel. This is my version that uses the seven-biblical species — wheat, barley, figs, olives, dates, pomegranates and grapes.

Place the mixed grains in a large saucepan. Add 500ml water and the vegetable stock powder. Bring to the boil and simmer for 15 minutes or until cooked. Drain and set aside to cool.
When the grains are cool, transfer to a large serving platter.
Add the mint, olives, dates, grapes, pomegranate seeds and figs. Mix together.
Drizzle over the dressing just before serving.
