| 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

This recipe is from Ali Honour's cookbook Beans. A proper veggie burger with structure, bite, and serious flavour thanks to the mighty British Carlin pea. None of that bland, beige nonsense here—served with a tangy beany burger sauce and all the classic trimmings.

A clever twist on classic sticky toffee pudding from Ali Honour's cookbook Beans. Rich, yet lighter than the traditional dense bake, the recipe includes cooked beans and grated parsnip, drowned in a decadent toffee sauce.
