Lemon and poppy seed is a classic flavour combination, usually in a cake, but Danka Jandric has cleverly made it into a granola recipe, using loads of our favourite products.
Have you ever tried cooking with kimchi? Though it’s delicious raw, kimchi adds a wonderfully rich and sour flavour to soup and broths. It also makes the most moorish pancakes. Try them as light lunch with some steamed tahini dressed greens on the side, or as part of a larger Korean themed feast.
Chia pudding is an easy and nutritious breakfast or dessert. Chia seeds are highly absorbent, taking up many times their own weight in water. This makes them super handy in the kitchen for thickening drinks or puddings, or as an egg substitute. Here Tereza has flavoured her chia pudding with floral elderflower and aromatic bay.
This hybrid potato and grain salad adds spring herbs and vegetables to distinctive wholegrain black barley with freshly pickled red onion and a sweet and spicy mustard dressing.
A quick and easy spring or summer dish made with pearled spelt. Pearled grains are a lighter and faster cooking alternative to wholegrain cereals, but this recipe would work well with any grain - or any pulse for that matter.
This tempting recipe comes from plant-based cook Tai Pitman. This simple no-cook porridge is made by soaking our whole naked oats. Play around with toppings of your choice - seasonal fruits, seeds, chocolate or drizzle over some Liberty Fields Apple Syrup.
Mejadra - or Mujaddara - is a simple but perfect store cupboard combination of lentils, rice or another grain, spices and crispy onions. You can find subtle variations across the Middle East but each is equally comforting and delicious. This version uses Hodmedod's Pilau Mix #2 in which the nutty emmer grains make a delicious British-grown substitute for the more usual rice, alongside our earthy olive green lentils.
A splendid diversity of flakes, nuts and seeds goes into these easy granola bars, easily adding up to over 12 plant species depending on the mix you choose. This is a great recipe to make with our Granola Bundles.
These have the most heavenly carrot cake-like flavour and texture, making them wildly indulgent as well as deliciously nourishing. The best part is that you don’t need to cook them. Their sweetness comes from dates, which are full of fibre, and honey, which you can omit to further reduce sugars, if needed.
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.
