Seven different times of pea and bean –
Top row: marrow fat peas, split wrinkled peas (these are the peas that didn’t quite make it to the freezing plant in time)
Bottom row: flamingo peas, chick peas, split yellow peas, split fava beans, red carlin peas.
All these are UK grown and come from the retailer Hodmedod. They will provide the basis for a number of meals. For example –
- Mushy peas and fried sweet potatoe
- Risi bisi*
- Ratatouille and wild rice
- Hummus and toast
- Dhal and rice
- Vegetable lasagna
- Tagine with millet
NB I weigh a daily portion of beans into a glass jar, add water and leave to soak. Then I place all the jars in a large pan, half fill with water and bring to the boil. Letting it simmer for 30 minutes before turning of the heat. This gives me 7 jars of ready cooked beans.
