With their firm texture and delicious nutty flavour, Carlin Peas make an excellent British substitute for chickpeas. Carlin Peas are popularly served as Parched Peas in Lancashire, simply boiled up and eaten with vinegar and salt.

Carlin Peas have a superb nutty flavour and firm texture, making a great alternative to chickpeas or Puy lentils. They're great in soups, stews, curries and salad, pairing well with roast vegetables.
