Split Peas

Despite the name this dish from the Greek island of Santorini is made not with fava beans but with split yellow peas - or more traditionally with an entirely different species of pulse, Lathyrus clymenum.

These delicious vegan and gluten-free dhal bread rolls are perfect as a snack, a lunchtime side to a salad, or a healthy accompaniment to South Asian curries and stews. Besides our Wrinkled Pea or Green Pea Flour they contain a host of other nutritious ingredients like chia seeds and coconut flour. This recipe was created by the inspired Salima Dhalla of Food Witch cookery school.

Sue Hudson is back again with this unbelievably moreish recipe from Malta. Pastizzi are a wonderfully savoury pastry filled with either ricotta cheese, or in this case, delightfully spiced mushy peas made from our very own British Grown Split Green Peas.

This vibrant Split Green Pea Soup was created by Lizzy Hughes of Our Lizzy vegetarian cookery school in Malvern, Worcestershire. Topped with fresh mint and croutons it's fantastically bright and fresh, just the thing for a warm summer evening!

Pease pudding hot, pease pudding cold... Still much loved and eaten in the North East pease pudding is sadly overlooked elsewhere but is an easy and satisfying dish to make with Split Yellow Peas.
