Introduced by the Spanish during occupation and colonisation, fava beans have been used in Mexico for hundreds of years. There are many variations of this simple soup, made and eaten primarily during Lent. Most use chicken stock, but Eden packs in plenty of rich and savoury notes into the dish while keeping it vegetarian.
Pajeon is a delicious Korean pancake made with spring onions. Eden's version is completely plant based (traditional Pajeon is sometimes made with eggs), uses 100% fava bean flour (instead of wheat or rice flour) and fava bean umami paste (as a substitute for soy bean paste), and was cooked in a 20cm non-stick frying pan.
A recipe for wild-spiced Emmer pilaf with chanterelles, courgettes and rose petals. Created by Leanne Townsend, a wild food specialist, researcher and food writer. She's added a foraged twist to this classic Middle Eastern dish.
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.
Our award-winning Fava Bean Umami Paste is similar to Japanese miso but made with British-grown fava beans. It's packed with deep rich umami flavour with subtle sherry notes and, like miso, it's perfect for marinades. Peter Grant has created a rich and flavoursome marinade for Lions Mane Mushrooms steaks.
This delicious recipe is from Salma Hage's superb new book The Levantine Vegetarian. We love to take inspiration from the big flavours of Middle-Eastern pulse and wholegrain dishes.
Inspired by traditional Peruvian quinoa soups, this soup uses a version of Aji Amarillo paste made using ingredients easily found in the UK rather than the traditional yellow Amarillo chillies. The flavour of this soup is distinctively fruity, savoury and a little spicy.
Amy Oboussier uses several of our ingredients to give this much loved dish a Hodmedod twist. Creamy nutty carlin peas are an excellent British-grown substitute for the usual black or pinto beans in refried beans.
This easy dal recipe is made with our flamingo peas. Split Flamingo peas are part of our range of products at Holland & Barrett. Their bright colour comes from cotyledon.
Eden Owen-Jones' light, silky and creamy whipped tofu dip is topped with split fava beans crisped in the oven to add a lovely crunch. Serve with deliciously bitter red endive leaves or spoon it over grilled radicchio.
You can make 'tofu' with any pulse, not just the traditional soybeans. Eden's recipe for homemade flamingo pea tofu is a perfect balance of sweet, smoke and umami flavours, paired with earthy celeriac and cavolo nero.
