| 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'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.
