| This simple sweet, sour and herby bean dish uses white coco beans to make the most of abundant seasonal courgettes in a perfect dish for summer. It's delicious served hot or cold. |
This dish is created by Amy Eylsia, who says:
"I made this dish on repeat last summer… partly due to a gut of courgettes in the garden, but it has everything I want from a summer dish - sweet onions, creamy beans in their cooking stock, all cut through with the acidity of plenty of vinegar and capers. You can use lemon juice in place of cider vinegar, but I love the sweetness of the cider vinegar.
"I like to serve this with a big dollop of yoghurt and some crusty bread to mop up the juices if I have it. Switch the mint and basil for any fresh summer herbs you like."

This dish allows the leeks and peas to cook and soften together slowly, lending their flavours to each other. Cooking the peas slowly helps release their starch, giving the dish an overall creamier consistency. The salsa verde adds a great savoury tang. Author Eden Owen-Jones is an avid listener of the Home Cooking podcast with Samin Nosrat and Hrishikesh Hirway and there is only so many times she could hear Samin talk about this salsa without trying to make a version for herself – we think it works really nicely here.
Much like chickpeas, flamingo peas really come into their own once they’ve had time to soak up flavour. Here, Eden Owen-Jones cooks them marinated with lemon, garlic, fennel seeds and soft herbs, creating a punchy, fragrant base you’ll want to keep on hand for salads, toast toppers and more.
