Carlin pea and umami dip with radishes and sunflower seeds
This rich, savoury dip brings together two brilliant ingredients, which you can source from the great British brand Hodmedod's: nutty carlin peas and deeply flavoured umami paste, made with fermented fava beans, seaweed and barley. It's a sort of British hummus – earthy, creamy and packed with flavour. It's great served with any crisp seasonal crudités: think fennel, celery, blanched asparagus or young carrots.
