Drain all the vegetables, pat dry with kitchen paper then place them in a large bowl and stir in the olive oil and vinegar.
Just before serving, stir the chilli, spring onions, parsley, mint and ham hock into the peas and beans and add the pea shoots, if using. Season to taste with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper and serve immediately.
