These marrowfat pea croquettes make a perfect starter or canapé, a nod to classic British fish and chip shops - especially when served with tartare sauce and pickles! |
Victoria Cowan first served these balls of deliciousness at a Fundraising Dinner for FareShare Sussex and Surrey last November, where the marrowfat peas were donated by Hodmedod.
Victoria was tasked with highlighting the humble potato - one of the most wasted vegetables in our food system, with WRAP reporting that a staggering 46% of all purchased potatoes end up in the bin! So what better way to spotlight these underappreciated spuds than by pairing them with mighty marrowfat peas?
Pulses like marrowfats are a brilliant alternative protein source to animal products. They’re affordable, have a long shelf life, and benefit the soil through their nitrogen-fixing abilities. Good for the people, good for the planet, and also super DELICIOUS!

These traditional potato cakes are named “farls” from the Gaelic word fardel, meaning quarter. A central part of an Ulster fry, farls are popular across Northern Ireland. Making them at home is simple and requires minimal ingredients: some left-over mashed potatoes, a pinch of salt and just enough flour to bind.

This simple and naturally sweet recipe is a delicious and nourishing alternative to traditional grain-based granola. Packed with crunch from brazil nuts, seeds, and flaked almonds, it’s full of healthy fats, fibre and plant protein - perfect for a sustaining breakfast or snack. The chia fruit compote adds a bright, jammy contrast, thickened naturally with chia seeds for extra texture and nutrition.

Orfhlaith Noone's addition of Guinness to Irish soda bread give it a modern twist, lending a deep, malty flavour to the loaf. This bread is the perfect accompaniment to hearty Irish dishes like seafood chowders, beef stews, soups, or simply with a smear of salted butter - Irish only, please!
