Method

1) Spray a pan with low calorie cooking spray and cook the onion, celery and rice for 5-6 minutes. Add a ladleful of stock and the mixed herbs and stir until the liquid has been absorbed. Continue to cook in this manner, adding a ladleful of stock each time the liquid has been absorbed.

2) Add the peas, sweetcorn and ham and continue to cook until the rice is creamy but still retains a slight bite. Remove from the heat, season well, garnish with parsley and serve.
