Inspired by her travels in Argentina, Eden's empanadas have a rich flaky YQ wheat flour pastry and a deliciously savoury carlin pea, potato and olive filling.
Give carlin peas the petits pois treatment: braising with butter, onion, white wine, lettuce and mint. The hearty nuttiness of the carlin peas makes for a more substantial dish than traditional fresh green peas. Serve with boiled Jersey Royals or other new potatoes to soak up the buttery sauce.
This flexible tempeh recipe from Victoria Cowan can be made with any of our pulses. Pictured are Victoria's split flamingo pea and marrowfat pea tempehs.
Amy Oboussier uses several of our ingredients to give this much loved dish a Hodmedod twist. Creamy nutty carlin peas are an excellent British-grown substitute for the usual black or pinto beans in refried beans.
Dried peas aren't just about hearty, hefty, traditional dishes, as Jenny Chandler shows in this fresh, light and vibrant dish. You can use any seasonal greens here - sprout tops are particularly good, but savoy cabbage, spring greens or kale would work well too. Be generous with the garlic, ginger and chilli, this recipe is designed to zing.
Queen of pulses Jenny Chandler combines quinoa with carlin peas as a satisfying base for any roast vegetables. The fabulously nutty texture and flavour of the carlin peas works especially well, but you could swap them out for other pulses.
This salad of smoked quinoa and carlin peas 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 toasted tomatoes.
Forager Leanne Townsend uses Bold Bean Co's jarred carlin peas in their stock to create this comforting autumn ragout, topped with chanterelles - or oyster mushrooms - to complement the earthy, nutty flavours of carlin peas.
Another great recipe from Martin Hill. We've quite a collection of recipes for hummus and similar dips, using different pulses and spices, but we’ve never had a smoked hummus. Halen Mon’s smoked salt and smoked water combine with our superb British-grown chickpeas to give this moreish hummus a deep, comforting flavour.
Serving a salad with a warm “hummus” base makes all the flavours sing, and feels so much for comforting on colder days. The Carlin Pea hummus is also fabulous with a baked sweet potato and plenty of dark green steamed leaves.
This Bean Chilli is a favourite in our house, when we want something comforting, hearty and with a little washing up as possible. It freezes well and can be make in large batched. We’ve made this this on the shove, in the slow cooker and even over the campfire.
