| Forager Leanne Townsend uses Bold Bean Co's jarred carlin peas in their stock to create this comforting autumn ragout, topped with chanterelles - or oyster mushrooms - to complement the earthy, nutty flavours of the carlin peas. |
Carlin peas are a hearty and delicious pulse perfect for autumn and winter dishes. Grown as part of diverse rotations on British arable farms, they play a valuable role in reducing the climate impact of farming and building soil health and fertility.
Leanne Townsend is a wild food specialist in the North East of Scotland. She writes about wild food and runs workshops and courses, teaching people about nature's larder throughout the seasons. Leanne's specialist areas include creating recipes for wild food dishes and preserves, as well as foraged cocktails and infusions such as liqueurs with wild ingredients. Here she uses foraged seasonal chanterelle mushrooms but cultivated oyster mushrooms work well too.
Serves 2 very hungry people or 4 less ravenous ones with some crusty bread.

Made with cooked-down apples instead of buttermilk, this stoneground rye soda bread feels cosy and rustic and perfect for autumn. Studded with plump raisins and warm spices, it bakes beautifully in a cast iron skillet.

This recipe is from Ali Honour's cookbook Beans. A proper veggie burger with structure, bite, and serious flavour thanks to the mighty British Carlin pea. None of that bland, beige nonsense here—served with a tangy beany burger sauce and all the classic trimmings.

A clever twist on classic sticky toffee pudding from Ali Honour's cookbook Beans. Rich, yet lighter than the traditional dense bake, the recipe includes cooked beans and grated parsnip, drowned in a decadent toffee sauce.
