salt and freshly ground pepper

Method

Put the cooked black badgers in a bowl, add the crushed garlic, chilli flakes oil and lemon juice. Mix well.
Add the other ingredients mix carefully and place in the fridge so that the flavours develop.

Lizzy’s Cooking Tip

When cooking dried black badger peas it’s worth cooking a large amount. When cool place in freezer bags or tubs and store in the freezer until needed.
