About
| 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.

Method

Extremely moreish muffins with a tender, cakey crumb and subtle grown-up smokiness. A unique bake by Isabella Palmer featuring Hodmedod's smoked quinoa, dark chocolate and tahini.
A comforting, creamy stew of carlin peas and pearl barley. Perfect for warming up on darker days, this dish uses blitzed pulses to create a rich texture.
This comforting barley risotto - or "orzotto" - comes from Greens & Grains by Anne-Katrin Weber, a beautiful celebration of plant-forward cooking that highlights the flavour and versatility of whole grains. In this recipe, nutty pearl barley replaces traditional rice to create a risotto that’s hearty, wholesome, and full of texture. Sweet, slow-roasted cherry tomatoes add depth and richness, perfectly balanced by the creamy tang of Gorgonzola and a touch of lemon. It’s a dish that feels indulgent yet nourishing.
