| For anyone looking for more local alternatives to much loved imported ingredients, Victoria Cowan's pulse-based guacamole replaces avocados with British-grown marrowfat peas. It's super delicious, nutritious and good for the planet. |
Peas are high in protein and contain all 9 essential amino acids, have a low glycemic index and high soluble fibre content, are full of heart-friendly minerals (magnesium, potassium and calcium) and rich in antioxidant nutrients like vitamin C.
Not only that, they’re a very important crop for agriculture too. Like other legumes they fix nitrogen, solubilise phosphates, promote soil carbon sequestration, increase soil organic matter, improve soil structure and maintain soil biodiversity.
Victoria has served her guac on a soda bread made from camelina seeds and Vanessa Kimbell’s wholemeal diversity blend flour, along with spring onion and radish for freshness and texture.

This easy and quick dinner from Claire Thomson's brilliant new book One Pan Beans makes the most of whatever veg you have to hand, combined with fragrant fennel yoghurt and hearty borlotti beans.
Infused with warming garam masala, a hint of pepper and cayenne, and vibrant vegetables, these fritters make a satisfying meal at any time of day. They're packed with fibre and plant-based protein - thanks to the fava bean flour, which delivers an impressive 26g of protein per 100g.
