About
| Silky soft aubergines contrast with crispy lentils in this dish, a great summer recipe from Abra Berens' Grist: A Practical Guide to Cooking Grains, Beans, Seeds, and Legumes. Grist is packed with authoritative and wide-ranging information, recipes and inspiration for a great variety of grains, legumes and seeds. |
Any grain or legume can be fried or crisped after cooking, transforming it from something soft and comforting to something crunchy and new. Abra recommends skinny aubergines for the visual effect but if using more common globe aubergines, just quarter them before cooking.

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.
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.
