Parched peas were a very common street food in the UK for a couple of hundred years; these days, they're much harder to find. They are a traditional treat made with carlin peas, with lashings of vinegar and salt, often eaten on Bonfire Night.

Daily dal? We've gathered dal recipes for a different dal every day for a fortnight - and there are countless more variations on this nourishing meal of spiced split pulses. . This green pea dal from Martin Hill is the latest addition to our collection; it's rich, indulgent and packed with flavour.

Martin Hill’s recipe for Aubergine Fritters & Brazil Nut Romesco Sauce makes a wonderful sharing dish, that would work well as a starter or side dish.
