step 1
Bring a medium saucepan filled with water to a boil. Season the water with salt and add the orzo (300 g). Stir well and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until al dente. Pour through a colander to drain then run cold water over the orzo until it has completely cooled.
step 2
Bring a small pan of water up to the boil and season with salt. When the water begins to simmer, drop in the fresh peas (150 g) and cook for 1 minute. Add in the sugar snaps (150 g) and cook for 30 seconds. Drain this through a colander and then refresh immediately in a bowl of iced water.
step 3
Grate half of the Manchego (60 g) using a box grater and shave the other half with a speed peeler.
step 4
Place the orzo into a large mixing bowl with the peas, sugar snap peas, semi-dried tomatoes (80 g), olives (80 g), mint (1 handful) and dill (1 handful). Add the lemon juice (1) along with 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and mix well. Season and fold in the grated Manchego cheese.
step 5
Serve in bowls and sprinkle each bowl with the Manchego cheese shavings. Top each bowl with a few slices of Ibérico ham (1 pack) and add a lemon wedge (1) to each bowl to serve.
