"This recipe covers a lot of bases for me; one pan, minimal fuss and thus thoughtless, easy cooking AS WELL AS bags of flavour, texture, gentle spice and an all round nourishing meal. Good for mind, body and soul. Carlin peas, a star of this show, are a fantastic bean to cook with AND come with the added bonus of being part of a greater good being grown on British soils. With both bite and buttery-ness, I use them on dishes where I would otherwise use chickpeas, black beans of butterbeans. They are also a regenerative crop, used by farmers to enrich soil between main crop cycles. Thus using them is a way to support farmers in their off season, part of a greater battle for soil health and against mono-culture farming. Support our farmers.

I’ve used pincho spice here, a Moorish spice blend coming from Andalusia, Spain, that's warm, earthy, aromatic and a touch spicey. I find it slightly a touch more versatile and a typical curry powder, and thus it has quickly become my go to for both bbqs and stews. You can buy it or you can make it (recipe below), but a curry powder, baharat or other similar spice mix will also work" - Jake
