About
| This salad of smoked quinoa, carlin peas and tomatoes comes to us from the Age Well Project. The smoky flavours from the quinoa are complimented by smoked paprika, cumin and the sweet acidity of roasted tomatoes. |
Grown by Peter Fairs in the fields of Essex, nutty and light wholegrain quinoa is traditionally smoked over oak and beech by Rob Morton in his Norfolk smokehouse to produced our smoked quinoa. It's easy to cook and perfect for salads, as a side dish, in soups or as an alternative to rice or cous cous.
The Age Well Project is an excellent blog (and books too) about the science of longevity, distilling published research to make it accessible in our everyday lives. The project highlights the important role of whole grains and pulses in a nutritious diet and the website features many excellent recipes that can be used with our pulses and grains.

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.
