Sarah and Aitana of The Little Cooking Pot love to recreate dishes they’ve tasted abroad, using as much British produce as possible. On an adventure in Japan, they made a lifelong friendship with Nana, who runs a little soba noodle restaurant in Nara. Nana explained how to make miso and since that trip, 5 years ago, making miso has become an annual tradition in their kitchen. |
Rather than using soya beans, from which miso is traditionally made, Sarah and Aitana have used British grown chickpeas. Along with British sea salt and koji from a wonderful producer in Edinburgh, this miso is made completely from British produce.
A year may require a lot of patience but this miso definitely worth the wait. We're sure you’ll agree when you taste your first bowl of homemade miso soup.

This cake is pure comfort from a tin! Made with kibbled naked barley, it takes inspiration from the creamy warmth of porridge and transforms it into something richer, denser and custardy.

Caponata is a much-loved Sicilian dish of bold Mediterranean flavours, traditionally a rich, sweet-sour stew of aubergines, onions, tomatoes, capers and herbs. In this version, tender borlotti beans join the mix, adding extra substance, creamy texture and a satisfying protein boost, making it as perfect for a light main as it is for a side dish.

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.
