Boonzaak brings biodiversity back to the plate and lets you taste how delicious local beans are. A healthy product with complex, ever-changing flavours. Tempeh made from a different bean every time, which only needs a quick fry or steam, but of course you can also cook it however you’re used to.
Our Frisian Woudbonen come from Jan Steverink in Silvolde and the Smak family in Lutjewinkel. It’s a creamy, slightly salty bean, perfect as the backbone of wintry dishes, classically eaten as Fryske Wâldbeantsjes with bacon and vinegar. We honestly eat it with everything, but do try it with hete bliksem (potato and apple mash), a beurre blanc sauce or in a pita with salsa verde.

The North Holland white Krombek bean is one of the few Dutch white bean varieties still around in the Netherlands, mostly grown in the very north of North Holland. It’s a cream-white, kidney-shaped bean with a lovely soft, creamy flavour. Fermentation adds a briny note too.
The Schokker* is a beautiful wrinkled green pea with a creamy flavour, just a touch sweeter than a regular green pea. This tempeh has a good bite and is a bit more compact than the grey pea, which makes it very versatile. *Temporarily sold out

Grey pea tempeh - smoked mushrooms - blackcurrant oil - wild garlic.
When autumn sets in, but the leaves still sway fragrantly in the wind. Grey pea tempeh, fried after a marinade of miso and mushroom garum. Pickled wild garlic flowers and a herbal currant leaf oil add aroma to the earthy flavours on the plate. Our grey peas are grown by the Smak family in Lutjewinkel.
Krombek bean tempeh - crème fraîche - dulse, lilac
The blini of the Low Countries. Our very own krombek is creamy, yet still fries up crispy. Fried briefly, it has the doughy texture of a blini or banana bread. Also lovely in a sandwich, mild in flavour and even great in sweet dishes. Our organic krombek beans are grown by farmer Jos Lamers between Lobith and Herwen.
Grey pea tempeh - confit leek - BBQ lemon - spruce oil
Grey pea tempeh from the fire and smoky lemon with a herbal oil from the forest. The grey pea has a remarkably firm yet tender bite, almost a little fishy. Over an open fire or fried in a little oil, it doesn’t need much more. Our grey peas are grown by the Smak family in Lutjewinkel.
Schokker green pea - Nuoc Cham - celery.
A Vietnamese classic with the Schokker green pea! A quick combination for effortlessly putting a star dish on the table. Use the Noordzee Karamel syrup in the nuoc cham and marinate the tempeh in the Tempeh Oil with a good soy sauce and some fresh raw veg. Our Schokkers are grown by the Smak family in Lutjewinkel.
Frisian woudboon tempeh - May turnip - elderflower beurre blanc - samphire
No fish fried skin-side down, but tempeh fried until just right. Try pairing a Schokker or Krombek tempeh with briny vegetables and a butter sauce. The perfect plant-based star of a main course, around which you can build changing vegetables and sauces. The Frisian woudbonen are grown by Jan Steverink in Silvolde.
