This delicious recipe is from Jenny Chandler's fantastic new Green Kids Cook, a cookbook that teaches the cooks of the future how to eat well, look after themselves and think about the planet. It's a great way to cook our British-grown lentils in a typical Syrian style.
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.
Toasted camelina seeds add a delicate savoury crunch to this classic slaw of cabbage, carrot and onion, while our fermented fava bean umami paste gives a deep rich flavour to the dressing.
Swede! Such a beautiful unsung winter vegetable! It makes a perfect pairing with Hodmedod's beautiful, multi-coloured, many-textured, diverse and delicious broth mix.
This simple pasta dish shows off our fantastic collaboration with Pastificio Carleschi: sedani pasta made slowly and in small batches with UK grown organic fava bean flour and wholegrain Emmer flour.
These little pies from the Cook and Him are so good they're worth making more leftovers for. The recipe uses YQ Wheat Flour for a rich pastry case, topped with Camelina Seeds for a nutty savoury crunch.
A deliciously warming recipe from Henrietta Inman for a soup-stew combining Wakelyns squash and lentils. Just the thing for the cold days that are coming.
Henrietta Inman, resident cook and baker at Wakelyns Agroforestry, is currently exploring the use of whole crop rotations and whole harvests in baking. Here she suggests some ways to use bran and semolina or 'milling offal' - the waste that's generated when making white flours.
Henrietta Inman, author of The Natural Baker, and resident cook and baker at Wakelyns Agroforestry, is currently exploring the use of whole crop rotations in baking. Henrietta's ingredients are all local to Wakelyns, but for a vegan version substitute maple or apple syrup for the honey and a hard coconut oil for the butter.
