| This comforting and sustaining winter recipe from Jenny Chandler makes great use of our Mix #3 - All The Peas, a five variety mix of Red Fox Carlin, Black Badger Carlin, Whole Blue, Whole Yellow and Marrowfat Peas. |
The mix of pea varieties gives a fabulous range of textures and flavours once cooked, with some of the softer marrowfat peas collapsing to give a rich, creamy stock.
While this recipe only uses 250g of dried peas, it makes absolute sense to cook the entire 500g bag of mixed peas, saving both energy and time (pressure cooking the peas will make further savings on both counts too). You can double up the soup recipe or freeze half your cooked peas to use at a later date.
There are a number of excellent sun-dried tomato pestos on the market, both vegan or containing cheese, but making your own is an absolute cinch and an opportunity to use up any random nuts in the cupboard.
Homemade sun-dried tomato pesto:
Using a liquidiser, or hand-held blender, blitz together 2 crushed cloves of garlic, 100 g sun-dried tomatoes (drained of their oil), 1 tbsp tomato purée, 50 g pine nuts (or walnuts/almonds/hazelnuts), about 12 basil leaves and a heaped tablespoon of either nutritional yeast or grated parmesan. Add enough extra virgin olive oil to make a thick paste. Taste, your tomatoes will probably provide enough salt to season the dish.

These baked samosas created by Hema Mavers are filled with a colourful and protein-rich mix of blue peas, sweetcorn, carrots and warming spices, with a touch of creamed coconut for richness. Wrapped in a wholesome pastry made from wholemeal wheat and millet flours, they’re a delicious example of how traditional favourites can be reimagined with nourishing ingredients.
This delicious risotto-like dish is made with kibbled naked barley and spring veg. It makes a delicious meal in its own right or can be served alongside beans, fish or meat.
This recipe from Órfhlaith Noone is inspired by traditional Danish rugbrød - moreishly chewy, dense, and a great way to use sourdough starter. It’s straightforward to make, but it's worth reading through the instructions a couple of times to get familiar with the timings before you begin.
