• 1 cup of frozen mixed vegetables ((182g)(carrots and peas))
• ½ small onion (sliced thinly)

• ½ tbsp. of thyme
• ½ tbsp of parsley

Method

1. Bring a large saucepan of water (with 2tbsp olive oil) to the boil (about 3/4 full).
2. Rub your hands with olive olive or put gloves on to prevent staining.
3. Score the top and end of the fig (don't completely cut off these parts) then slice the skin lengthways and repeat with the other bananas.
4. Carefully add the figs to the saucepan and leave to boil until they are soft and tender (this should take about 20-25 minutes).
5. While the figs are boiling, add the mixed vegetable to a medium sized saucepan with water and parboil for a few minutes then drain off the water and set aside.
6. Once the figs have cooked, drain off the water and allow to cool.
7. Once cool, remove the skin and discard.
8. Cut the fig into small pieces in a large bowl.
9. Combine with the carrots, peas, bell pepper, onion, scallion, mustard powder, celery seed, parsley and thyme.
10. Add the vegan mayo to your desire, I used about 1/2 cup.
11. Then add black pepper and pink salt to taste.
