We’ve combined all the flavours of falafel in this great salad, but without the faff of making actual falafel! The result is a type of deconstructed dish that’s layered with flavour and beautiful clashing textures that are a joy to eat. Cooked quickly and easily in the air fryer (or roasted in the oven), we combine chickpeas with onions, garlic and spices, our Mellow Yellow Cold Pressed Rapeseed Oil working its magic to bring everything together in one delicious mixture.

Served on a bed of salad leaves with refreshing pickled red cabbage and onion slaw, a topping of creamy whipped feta finishes things off perfectly. Enjoy as a BBQ side or tasty mid-week meal.

Tin loaves are perfect for all of those family favourites like sandwiches, toasties and peanut butter on toast! Our sourdough recipe combines strong white bread flour with wholegrain flour to bring in extra fibre, with a touch of honey for subtle sweetness. A good glug of our Mellow Yellow cold pressed rapeseed oil helps to tenderise the loaf, resulting in a lovely soft interior and gorgeous golden crust.

We’ve used a variety of seeds in our recipe here, but you can experiment with different toppings to see what you enjoy most. If you don’t have a sourdough starter, switch to a half sachet of instant yeast, but be sure to keep an eye on gluten development! It’ll leaven the bread much quicker than sourdough so you’ll need to adjust the timings accordingly.

Similar to risotto, this Italian dish by Emily On Toast uses orzo instead of rice with a delicious topping inspired by pangrattato (an Italian recipe of fried breadcrumbs with garlic, often referred to as ‘poor man’s parmesan’).

Cheesy, creamy and comforting, the addition of lemon zest makes the flavours really pop, whilst our Mellow Yellow cold pressed rapeseed oil creates a golden breadcrumb topping that takes this dish up a level. The key to beautifully caramelised onions is to cook them low and slow in our Mellow Yellow Oil which will unleash their optimum flavour. While the initial stage takes about 15 minutes, this recipe still takes less than 45 minutes to cook.

Deliziosa!
