Generally, pesto is made with pine nuts, basil, olive oil & a hard cheese like Parmesan or pecorino. However, Josiah has created this recipe as a wonderful seasonal alternative using winter greens like Cavolo Nero. Walnuts are also substituted for pine nuts as they have a similar oil rich texture and earthy flavour. |
Everyone loves pesto and ‘pesta pasto’ has become a ubiquitous standby; up there with beans on toast. The little jars are definitely convenient, but a bit like humous, it’s one of those things where when you make it you think ‘why am I paying £3 for a tiny pot that isn't half as good as homemade?’
And why always pasta? Pesto is superb with beans, it’s also fantastic with peas and chickpeas. Particularly our pink flamingo peas - which have a wonderful sweetness about them.
Serves 2 as a main or 4 as a side

Swap blood for beans with Eden's vegetarian riff on black pudding. With pearled naked barley for a bit of chewiness, this hearty and spicy dish is best enjoyed with wholemeal soda bread.

The firm yet giving nature of roasted squash means it’s able to absorb any flavour you throw at it, in this case a curry paste featuring pineapple and turmeric sauerkraut and coconut chips, resulting in a sweet, spicy dry curry. Nick matches that with a braise of carlin peas.
