Sticky Barbecue Beans with Cornbread Crumble

A serving of sticky barbecue beans and golden cornbread dumplings, with herbs and lemon zest scattered on top. a lovely vegan evening meal. It is on a stone wall with mossy around. A gorgeous summer bowl.

Smoky, sticky, and deeply comforting — this skillet brings barbecue beans and soft cornbread together in one bubbling pan. The harissa-tomato base is sweet and savoury, with lemon and thyme cutting through the richness. Finished with dumpling-sized cornbread crumbles, it’s the sort of thing you’d eat by firelight with a spoon and a smile.

Dried Lime Butter Beans with Capers in a Fragrant Broth

A warm bowl of butterbeans and capers in a golden broth, infused with dried lime – comfort food with depth and tenderness.

A fragrant, gentle broth with butter beans, capers and the haunting citrus hum of dried lime. Drawn from Persian and Mediterranean flavours, it’s a pantry-built dish with soul. Soft, salt-laced, and slightly mysterious – the kind of bowl that makes a quiet afternoon feel golden again.
