| Whole Fava Beans have a real affinity with the earthy flavours in this rich casserole that’s the perfect antidote to cold dark winter days. This hearty and warming dish was created by Carol Kearns, our illustrator and author of The Art of Baking blog. |
Serve this Whole Fava Bean casserole with baked or mashed potatoes and a dark green vegetable like savoy cabbage or curly kale. It also pairs brilliantly with mashed swede and braised red cabbage.
This is an excellent recipe for when you have unexpected extra guests to feed as you can just add an extra can of fava beans and put on some extra veg.

Caponata is a much-loved Sicilian dish of bold Mediterranean flavours, traditionally a rich, sweet-sour stew of aubergines, onions, tomatoes, capers and herbs.

Lentils can sometimes blend into the background of a dish but these organic black lentils from France deserve to be the star of the show. This simple dish showcases their texture, colour and flavour.
Taktouka is a savoury Moroccan side dish of chargrilled peppers, tomatoes, paprika and coriander. Here we break with the traditional recipe by adding borlotti beans for a more substantial dish.
