| 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!
Serves 2 as a dip or side dish
