| This delicious risotto-like dish from forager Leanne Townsend is made with kibbled naked barley and spring veg. It makes a delicious meal in its own right or can be served alongside beans, fish or meat. |
This simple recipe uses spring vegetables asparagus and wild garlic but you can use whichever vegetables are in season. Note that it's best to use wild garlic before it has gone to seed, after which it can be a bit tough and flavourless.
Our kibbled naked barley is from a superb crop of the Oak Ruby variety, bred by Edward Dickin and grown by his father Jeremy Dickin at Oak Farm in Lincolnshire. Kibbling breaks up the grain so it cooks more quickly to a lighter, fluffier finish.
Serves 3 as a main or 4 as a side.

This beginner-friendly sourdough bread is a great sandwich bread, inspired by the Danish panini-style rye bread used at Joe & The Juice and the rågkusar rye sandwich thins popular in Sweden and Finland. Slice it horizontally and fill generously with your favourite sandwich filling.

Piyaz is a traditional Turkish bean salad, but in Antalya it takes on a unique and beloved twist. More than just a simple side, it becomes a hearty, flavourful dish in its own right, rich with tahini, olive oil and cumin, layered with herbs, eggs and tomatoes. Creamy flageolet beans form the base, while the tang of lemon and vinegar keeps it bright and refreshing. Finished with fragrant dill, parsley, and a sprinkle of sumac, this is a salad that’s as satisfying as it is vibrant, perfect served alongside grilled dishes or enjoyed simply with good bread.

An old-fashioned classic, upgraded for more plant diversity, more fibre, and, dare I say it, more flavour too! Instead of using just oats in crumble bars, try our four grain muesli base. You can make the crumble bars with either a caramelly date filling or a fresh, tart berry filling.
