| 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."

This recipe from Anna Warden makes for a cookie that is crunchy on the outside, and chewy in the middle - to our mind the best combination. The malted wheat flour and coffee create a gorgeous depth of flavour and a moreish caramelly base which pairs perfectly with dark chocolate and sea salt. These cookies will keep in the freezer (unbaked) for a couple of weeks, and so are the perfect thing to have to hand for times you want a cookie or for when you might just need a cookie.

As the nights cool and the leaves turn, so wild mushrooms emerge from the mossy forest floor. Leanne Townsend found a beautiful patch of winter chanterelles and cooked them up with some British-grown carlin peas.

This rustic galette recipe from India Mathews is a celebration of simple, honest ingredients and using the whole of the grain. Made with wholemeal flour, the pastry has a beautiful depth of flavour: nutty, buttery and subtly sweet. Beyond the taste, baking with wholemeal flour reduces food waste in the milling process.
