Vegan Paella with Fava Beans and Carlin Peas
Traditional Spanish paella is usually cooked with fish or meat but The Cook & Him have given it a vegan twist, incorporating British pulses and grains. Absolutely packed with veggies, protein and flavour, this recipe is a one-pot wonder.
Caramelised Onion Ful Nabed with Smoked Quinoa Crackers
Food bloggers The Cook and Him created this wonderfully creamy ful nabed (just like hummus but made with ful or fava beans, not chickpeas) garnished with caramelised onion and accompanied with deliciously smoky quinoa and pea flour crackers.
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.
Green Pea Dal & Pesto Stuffed Conchiglie
Stuffed conchiglie pasta shells filled with a split green pea dal and home-made pesto, baked in a tangy tomato sauce. Totally vegan and totally flavourful! This Cook & Him recipe is perfect for a weeknight meal.
Yellow Pea Fritters
Sam, Phil and Meg the dog of cookery blog The Cook and Him are spoiling us with these Yellow Pea Fritters, made with our Organic Split Yellow Peas and Yellow Pea Flour. Served with grilled mushrooms and tomatoes they make the perfect savoury breakfast - or serve with salad for a light lunch.
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.
Roast Cauliflower and Quinoa Salad
Matching the earthy nuttiness of our organic quinoa with the mellow but distinctive flavour of roasted cauliflower, this aromatic salad in a jar from The Cook and Him makes a perfect packed lunch and can be made up the day before.
Bean and Beetroot Burgers
This recipe for deliciously succulent and juicy vegan bean and beetroot burgers comes from Claire Thomson's The Art of the Larder, one of our favourite cookbooks. While the recipe originally called for canned black beans Claire recommends using any of our canned red haricot beans, whole fava beans or even carlin peas - and either flaked quinoa or naked barley flakes substitute well for the rolled oats.
Moorish Mushy Peas with Harissa
Spice up your Classic Mushy Peas with Jenny's Chandler quick but delicious recipe to add a little Moorish pizzazz to good old British marrowfat peas.
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.
Fava Farfalle with Pinenuts and Tomato
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.
