About
| Another wonderful recipe from Jenny Chandler, author of Pulse and Super Pulse. This time she's brought Mexican flavours to accidentally over-cooked British Carlin Peas. |
"This recipe is the result of a rather fortuitous accident… I’ll confess, I blasted my last batch of Carlin Peas for just a bit too long in the pressure cooker. I’m still learning how to ensure that I don’t reduce my pulses to a mash, nowadays I tend to undercook them and then finish the last few minutes using the pan as a conventional saucepan. Not this time.
"So, a large pot of rather mushy peas - perfect for purée, soup, and why not refried peas? These turned out so incredibly well and are infinitely useful for burritos, tacos, enchiladas, to serve with huevos rancheros - basically anywhere that you might have used your Mexican style re-fried beans.
"It’s worth making a double or even triple batch of these to freeze in small portions."

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!
