This fabulous historical recipe for Pancake Day is from Neil Buttery of the British Food A History blog and podcast. Neil developed the recipe after discovering our Green Pea Flour in a shop in Manchester. Although our Green Pea Flour is not the same as Peasemeal (where the peas are toasted before being milled) it makes a good substitute.
"Utterly moreish, hot or cold, these make a delicious veggie burger and are also brilliant for parties as bite-size canapés with the chimichurri yoghurt as a dip on the side. They are a great way to use up leftover quinoa, but if you want you can make them from scratch": Melissa Hemsley
This winter veg stew makes a hearty and warming supper for a cold dark evening, with nutty emmer grains and deliciously savoury fava bean flour dumplings. And at Halloween it's a great use for any surplus pumpkin flesh, far too good to waste!
We set The Cook & Him a challenge with this one, but the vegan lasagne they created is the perfect marriage for our British-grown Whole Olive Lentils and fermented Fava Bean Umami Paste. Packed with flavour, it can be made ahead of time, ideal for feeding a crowd or batch cooking for midweek dinners.
Fava bean flour and oat milk make for a deliciously moist and light ginger cake that’s vegan and naturally gluten-free. Full of Christmas spices it's a perfect festive treat. Another superb recipe from The Cook & Him.
Quiche is one of the great summer dishes, but for those following a vegan or gluten-free diet a good quiche is hard to come by. This is where our friends at The Cook and Him blog come in, with this delicious vegan, gluten free caramelised leek, red onion, and vegan "cheese" quiche with a crust made from Hodmedod's Fava Bean Flour.
When pasta-maker extraordinaire Carmela Sereno Hayes of Carmela's Kitchen started experimenting with our pulse and quinoa flours to make pasta we were excited to see what she would come up with. She hasn't disappointed! This light but flavoursome dish of fava farfalle makes a perfect late spring lunch and is a great introduction to making pasta from scratch.
Pack your pancakes with the flavour and extra protein of pulse flour! Our fava bean and pea flours make great tasting pancakes, simply by substituting them for wheatflour in a standard pancake recipe.
Whole Fava Beans have a real affinity with the earthy flavours in this rich casserole that’s the perfect antidote to cold dark winter days. This hearty and warming dish was created by Carol Kearns, our illustrator and author of The Art of Baking blog.
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.
