by Abbie Mutch March 22, 2024

This easy dal recipe is made with our split flamingo peas, part of our range of pulses and grains now stocked in Holland & Barrett stores across the UK.

If you're new to cooking with pulses, split peas are a great place to start. There's no need to soak them before and they cook in under an hour. Dal is a nutritious and delicious way to cook pulses; we've now collected over a dozen dal recipes.

This recipe was created in collaboration with Borough Broth and Dr. Wills to highlight products supplied to Holland & Barrett as part of the relaunch of their food range.

Emmer & Rosemary Flatbreads

Flatbreads are a staple of many cultures around the word and would have been one of the first leavened breads as they don't require an oven and can be made over a fire by heating a flat rock. These flatbreads are quick and simple to make in a heavy bottomed pan on the hob and go well with a variety of dishes.
