| Helena Barlow kindly gave us this recipe for a twist on traditional Greek fava, made with our pink Flamingo Peas instead of the more usual split yellow peas or grass peas. The Flamingo peas give the dish a sweetness, a beautiful warm colour and a creamy texture. |
Traditional Greek fava, but made with Flamingo pink peas rather than grass peas (as might be the case with fava santorini). This recipe was inspired by my Greek auntie and her friend at Oliveology in London’s Borough Market. It was seriously delicious and totally cured my craving for the fava we eat in Crete. These Flamingo peas are special as they are a new variety that’s only just been grown in the UK for the first time this year - highly recommend that you try them!

A fragrant and comforting Mejadra-style dish featuring earthy lentils and basmati rice, topped with crispy fried onions and served with a zesty garlic yoghurt.
An enriched, festive loaf inspired by the Tuscan pan co’ santi. This deeply flavourful bread is studded with walnuts and raisins, scented with rosemary and fennel, and features the nutty depth of wholemeal emmer flour.
Middle Eastern ijeh - or eggah - is a herby, vegetable-packed fritter, similar to an omelette or frittata. Soft, fragrant and deeply nourishing, it’s a recipe that celebrates simple ingredients elevated with plenty of fresh herbs and warming spices. Cooked slowly until golden on both sides, it’s perfect served warm with a squeeze of lemon and a spoonful of tangy yoghurt.
