| This recipe was inspired by a dish from Rebel Recipes's Instagram feed. The main difference is that we used dried chickpeas, put a bit of ras el hanout in the marinade and used Liberty Fields Dorset apple balsamic and apple syrup instead of balsamic and maple syrup. |
British Chickpeas. That was something we never really imagined we’d be able to write 10 years ago.
When we started Hodmedod in 2012 we knew that for various quite complicated historical reasons the pulses people liked to eat in the UK (chickpeas, lentils, haricot beans) weren’t the ones that grow well here well (peas, fava beans).
We set about trying to change those habits (and we’ve had a fair bit of success), but we also began working out whether we could grow some of the ‘tricky’ pulses. We and the farmers we work with have learned a lot - we’re pretty good at lentils now - but it’s all still been hit and miss, especially with chickpeas.
But here’s the thing; the small crops of chickpeas we’ve had have been unbelievably delicious and keep us trying

These traditional potato cakes are named “farls” from the Gaelic word fardel, meaning quarter. A central part of an Ulster fry, farls are popular across Northern Ireland. Making them at home is simple and requires minimal ingredients: some left-over mashed potatoes, a pinch of salt and just enough flour to bind.
This simple and naturally sweet recipe is a delicious and nourishing alternative to traditional grain-based granola. Packed with crunch from brazil nuts, seeds, and flaked almonds, it’s full of healthy fats, fibre and plant protein - perfect for a sustaining breakfast or snack. The chia fruit compote adds a bright, jammy contrast, thickened naturally with chia seeds for extra texture and nutrition.
Orfhlaith Noone's addition of Guinness to Irish soda bread give it a modern twist, lending a deep, malty flavour to the loaf. This bread is the perfect accompaniment to hearty Irish dishes like seafood chowders, beef stews, soups, or simply with a smear of salted butter - Irish only, please!
