| 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".

Sometimes, only a sweet breakfast will do. Whether it’s for comfort after a sleepless night, or as an indulgence on a lazy weekend, this spiced, sweet and crunchy breakfast torte is perfect. Yes, it has a bit of added sugar, but it’s also packed full with 11 plant varieties and approximately 6 grams of fibre in each slice. Try it with some yoghurt and stewed seasonal fruit.
A vibrant, balanced salad featuring nutty Carlin Peas, crisp apples, and crunchy walnuts, all tossed in a creamy, sharp blitzed butternut squash dressing.
This hearty, comforting, flavour-packed dish showcases the nutty richness of pearled naked barley, a wholesome and nutritious alternative to rice. Naturally high in fibre and full of slow-release energy, barley gives this dish a satisfying bite and depth that pairs beautifully with earthy mushrooms and fragrant thyme.
