Lentil, Camelina & Roast Veg Salad
Nothing beats a simple salad in summer weather, and this one from The Cook and Him combines roasted veg, our British-grown whole lentils and camelina seeds, feta cheese, and scandalously good maple glazed walnuts. For added bursts of umami richness we suggest adding a spoonful of our fermented wholegrain naked barley.
Vegan Lentil Lasagne
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, perfect for feeding a crowd or batch cooking for midweek dinners.
Quinoa and Fava Bean Vegan Meatballs
These delicious vegan (no-)meatballs from The Cook & Him make an ideal midweek Veganuary supper, combining the satisfyingly earthy flavours of fava beans and quinoa with the deep intensity of our fava bean umami paste.
Mushy Pea and Mushroom Pie
This inventive pie from Jenny Chandler uses mushy peas as the heart of a comforting winter pie that makes a meal in itself or imposing side dish.
Fava Umami Paste Salsa Verde
This piquant and fresh salsa verde uses our fermented Fava Umami Paste in place of the usual preserved anchovies, a vegan alternative that provides a similar savoury depth.
Summer Bean Salad with Umami Dressing
A summer salad with plenty of ooomph provided by the fabulous depth of the Fava Umami Paste used for the dressing. This is a great dish to prepare ahead; unlike most salads it gets better after a few hours.
