Baked Beans with Flamingo & Yellow Peas
Chef James Taylor is on a mission to get pulses into school meals, using Hodmedod's beans, peas, lentils and chickpeas all this term as part of special Pulses Days in primary schools. Here's his recipe for baked "beans" made with pink and yellow peas from British farms instead of the usual navy beans (mostly from the US and Canada).
Seed, Pulse & Herb Crackers with Beetroot Hummus
Here at Hodmedods we sell a number of British-grown seeds, and these quick and easy crackers showcase them perfectly. Alongside this vibrant beetroot hummus, this makes the perfect light lunch, afternoon snack or drinks party nibbles.
Coriander & Mustard Seed Crepes
This twist on traditional crêpes is made with yellow pea and fava bean flour, making it a great source of plant-based protein and gluten-free too. Created by the talented nutritionist, cook, grower and food presenter Sam Hamrebtan.
Pea & Bean Dhebra
Inspired by traditional Gujarati dhebra, a bread typically made with millet flour, this delicious and nutritious recipe from Sam Hamrebtan uses our yellow pea and fava bean flour, milled from British-grown pulses.
Yellow Pea ‘Cornbread’ with Lime and Chilli
Pea bread is easy, quick and cheap to make, perfect for week-night dinners and as an added bonus it’s high in protein and fibre. It would work perfectly with our recipes for Slow Cooker Bean & Pea Chilli or any of our soups.
All The Peas and Red Pesto Soup
This comforting and sustaining winter recipe from Jenny Chandler makes great use of our Mix #3 - All The Peas, a five variety mix of Red Fox Carlin, Black Badger Carlin, Whole Blue, Whole Yellow and Marrowfat Peas.
Yellow Dhal Curry with Pol Sambol
A wonderfully fragrant and filling dhal recipe from A La Mesa, a celebration of food from the childhoods and travels of Sarah and Aitana of The Little Cooking Pot in Clapton. A La Mesa is a joyous and mindful guide to growing, sourcing, preserving, cooking, eating and composting. This recipe was inspired by Sarah’s travels in Sri Lanka.
Split Pea Stew with Ethiopian Spices
This wonderful recipe is from Vicky Jones' book Bean's Pea & Everything in Between, a treasure trove of great recipes for pulse lovers. Sharing food is an important part of life in Ethiopia, where it is the custom for everyone to help themselves to fragrant, spicy stews placed in mounds on a large pancake or injera, which acts both as a communal plate and an eating tool.
Yellow Pea Hummus
Strictly speaking hummus means chickpea but similar dips can be made from any pulse, each with their own distinctive flavour and texture. We make this in large quantities and use liberally as more than just a dip. Like any other hummus this is delicious as a pasta sauce, added to roast potatoes, as an alternative to white sauce in lasagne or moussaka, to thicken soups, cooked in a pie and more!
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.
Fava Santorini made with Yellow 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.
Whole Yellow Pea and Mushroom Soup
With a nod to the famous Ärtsoppa, traditionally served in Swedish homes on a Thursday evening, Lindsey Dickson of The Eating Tree has come up with a warming whole yellow pea soup.
