Flamingo Pea Cretan Fava
Helena Barlow kindly gave us this recipe for traditional Greek fava, it's made with our Flamingo Peas instead of the more usual split yellow peas or grass peas and they give it a sweetness, a beautiful warm colour and a creamy texture.

Quinoa Cakes with Chimichurri Yoghurt
"Utterly moreish, hot or cold, these make a delicious veggie burger and are also brilliant for parties as bite-size canapés with the chimichurri yoghurt as a dip on the side. They are a great way to use up leftover quinoa, but if you want you can make them from scratch": Melissa Hemsley
Hummus & Roast Vegetable Pie

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.

Suffolk Spelt, Quinoa and Barley Loaf

Vegan Lentil Lasagne
We set The Cook & Him a challenge with this one, but the vegan lasagne they created is the perfect marriage for our British-grown Whole Olive Lentils and fermented Fava Bean Umami Paste.
