| As well as devising cake and biscuit recipes, Carol Kearns - who does the rather nice illustrations for our packaging - has developed this fabulous seeded loaf recipe using Hodmedod’s British grown and milled Fava Bean Flour with optional Camelina and Chia seeds. |
I’ve taken to adding some toasted Fava Bean Flour to all my bread recipes as it works brilliantly as a flour improver. This bread is really delicious and I love the fact that the seeds and the bean flour all add to its nutritional value.
A chunk of this seeded loaf goes really well with a bowl of soup in the winter, while in the summer months it’s perfect with salads. I like to make it for a party buffet or to take on a picnic as it looks so attractive with its topping of toasted seeds.
Using fast action dried yeast this recipe is super easy to make and only requires one proving. I often double the quantity to make one loaf for now and one loaf for the freezer where it keeps for up to a month.

Method

Caponata is a much-loved Sicilian dish of bold Mediterranean flavours, traditionally a rich, sweet-sour stew of aubergines, onions, tomatoes, capers and herbs. In this version, tender borlotti beans join the mix, adding extra substance, creamy texture and a satisfying protein boost, making it as perfect for a light main as it is for a side dish.
Lentils can sometimes blend into the background of a dish but these organic black lentils from France deserve to be the star of the show. This simple dish showcases their texture, colour and flavour.
Taktouka is a savoury Moroccan side dish of chargrilled peppers, tomatoes, paprika and coriander. Here we break with the traditional recipe by adding borlotti beans for a more substantial dish.
