When the wedges have 10 mins remaining, heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on high heat.

Add the mushrooms to the pan and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until golden, 5-7 mins.

Once golden, add the remaining ginger, garlic & lemongrass puree to the pan. Stir-fry for 30 secs, then pour in the soy sauce and fry until there's no liquid remaining, 1 min.

When the mushrooms are cooked, drizzle over the honey (see pantry for amount).

Halve the ciabatta. Toast the ciabatta in your toaster until golden.

If you're using the oven, pop them into the oven to warm through, 2-3 mins.

Just before everything's ready, toss the rocket through the carrot and cucumber pickle.
