This season’s Brod

Koji cured naked oat tempeh

A soft, chewy and deliciously peppery tempeh. If you think oats are just for porridge think again!

Oats have been grown here in the UK since they first arrived from Saudi Arabia in 1000 BC. Unlike maize and wheat, they love damp, dark conditions and thrive in the north of England, Scotland and parts of Ireland

Tempeh is an ancient fermentation from Indonesia that combines lacto-fermentation with delicious Rhizopus Oligosporus fungi to create a complex nutty flavour. Finally our tempeh is finished with Koji fungi (the same Koji used to make soy sauce and sake!) to create a rich nutty tempeh with a soft peppery finish

Our naked oats are grown in John Turner at Little Blytham Farm in Lincolnshire who specialises in unusual and heritage grains

 

This season’s Marinade

Smoked White Oyster Mushroom

The absolute queen of summer mushrooms, the wild White Oyster, mingled with this season’s spicy wild garlic and umami-rich fava bean shoyu create a sticky, sweet marinade, perfect for soaking into creamy oat tempehs
