It's liberating to realise that culinary classics like falafel can be made not just with chickpeas or fava beans, but in fact with most legumes. After all, most traditional dishes have come from a place of necessity and availability, making use of what’s around but applying culinary wisdom that can be found in other parts of the world too. Here, Julius Fiedler of Baking Hermann, brings falafel to the UK with this recipe using British-grown split green peas.
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 fabulous historical recipe for Pancake Day is from Neil Buttery of the British Food A History blog and podcast.
