Lentil Ragu
Super simple to make and incredibly versatile, this ragu is the perfect alternative to minced meat and can be used in shepherd's pie, lasagne or as a bolognese style sauce for pasta (it's great with any of Pastificio Carleschi's superb pasta). Or try it in a pie with roasted veg. Our British-grown olive lentils bring a fantastic peppery and earthy sweetness to the sauce.

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

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.
