| This piquant and fresh salsa verde uses our fermented Fava Umami Paste in place of the usual preserved anchovies, a vegetarian alternative that provides a similar savoury depth. |
Piquant and fresh, Italian salsa verde is the perfect way to zip up so many dishes.
It's perfect stirred into cooked lentils with griddled courgette, squash and a few raisins or served with new potatoes, boiled eggs and green beans or steamed broccoli.
Many fresh Mediterranean sauces and pastes use preserved anchovies to achieve their umami intensity, fermented fava bean purée gives dishes an amazing savoury depth in a similar way and is perfect for vegetarians.
This recipe is from Jenny Chandler, author of the superb Pulse cookbook and United Nations Special Ambassador for The Year of Pulses in 2016. She describes this use of Fava Umami Paste, as a replacement for anchovies, "Umami Saucery".

A creamy, comforting "speltotto" made with British-grown spelt and boosted with the goodness of SUCSEED - earthy, nourishing and full of natural fibre.
These cookies are quick and easy to make. Rye and treacle give wonderful depth and richness to the flavour, pairing well with the warmth of the spices. The addition of just a bit of wheat bran to the dough adds a nutty flavour, as well as improving the texture through its moisture absorbing properties, making for chewier cookies.
A few simple additions can transform an everyday bowl of porridge into a special treat. The warming blend of spices makes this breakfast extra cosy and comforting. For an even creamier texture, you can soak the oats in milk overnight, though it’s perfectly delicious made fresh in the morning.
