We've teamed up with Bold Bean Co to offer our classic carlin peas in jars, cooked to perfection and ready to use. One of Britain's best-kept secrets, Carlin Peas are a much-loved traditional food in the North of England and make a great alternative to chickpeas, with excellent flavour and texture. Bold Bean sent our classic British-grown Black Badger Carlin Peas to their expert Spanish preservers, who have perfectly cooked and jarred them in their salty stock. Also know as Black or Grey Peas, Carlin Peas are traditionally eaten as Parched Peas in Lancashire, simply boiled up and served with vinegar and salt. With their firm texture and delicious nutty flavour, Carlin Peas make an excellent British substitute for chickpeas. We also sell dried Organic Black Badger Carlin Peas, Red Fox Carlin Peas (a lighter coloured red-brown variety) and our canned Organic Carlin Peas in Water. 📸 Photo courtesy Milly Fletcher Recipes for Carlin Peas Brunch Chaat with Carlin Peas and Tomatoes More Recipes Black Badger Brownie Bars: made with Carlin Peas Rustic Black Badger Salad Ginger Fox Cake - made with Carlin PeasBrowse all our recipes for carlin peas Complete Product Details Cooking Ingredients Nutrition More Carlin Peas have a superb nutty flavour and firm texture, making a great alternative to chickpeas.
