A traditional stew can really hit the spot on a cold winter's day. The combination of pearled spelt and lentils makes for a comforting and satiating meal, with the complex salty miso and bright lemon juice balancing this dish beautifully. |
Danka suggests various accompaniments to this stew, so why not make a big batch, change up the toppings, and never get bored?

Note 1: You can add additional vegetables to suit your taste, e.g. squash or leafy greens. Add the squash (chopped into 1.5 cm cubes) at the same time as the potatoes and the greens in the last 10 min of the simmering time.
Note 2: When cold and stored in the fridge, the texture of the stew might start looking a bit slimy. This is due to starches released by the spelt into the liquid of the stew as the stew cools. Once re-heated the starches dissolve into the liquid and the texture goes back to how it was freshly cooked.
Note 3: This stew freezes well, but the texture of the potato will change as freezing breaks down its starches. Some people don't mind this, but you may prefer to omit the potato if you're planning to make a big batch of this and freeze some.

This fresh, aromatic dish is perfect for late spring evenings. The well-rounded combination of creamy white beans, sweet fennel, zingy lemon and bitter greens is best enjoyed with some crusty bread and a glass of white wine.

Eden's latest recipe is inspired by the Catalan method of adding dry or fried bread to dishes to thicken sauces and make them more luxurious. Paired with the briny and acid dressing, this is a great way to eat beans, not at all heavy but both savoury and bright. Best served with salad and bread – double bread! – why not?

Sikil Pak is a deliciously nutty and moorish traditional Mayan dip made from toasted or roasted pumpkin seeds and charred tomatoes. Serve alongside freshly fried totopos (tortilla chips) with a margarita if you fancy.
