- High protein: at least 20% of energy from protein. High fibre: at least 3 g per 100 kcal.
- Low carbohydrate: no more than 20 g per serving and 20% of energy from carbohydrate.
- Low energy and low fat: conservative estimates of the prepared dish per 100 g (40 kcal and 3 g fat for solids; 20 kcal and 1.5 g fat for drinks and soups). Uncertain yield is left unclassified.
- Omega-3: estimated at least 0.3 g ALA or 40 mg EPA+DHA per 100 g and per 100 kcal. Products with unknown composition are not counted as zero.

Method
-
Soak the pinto beans in 1500 g water for 12 hours. Drain, discard the water and rinse.
-
Heat the oil in a saucepan and soften the spring onions for 7 minutes.
-
Add the garlic for 1 minute.
-
Add the beans and 1500 g fresh water. Boil vigorously for 30 minutes, then simmer for 70–100 minutes until tender. Add hot water if needed.
-
Rinse the cockles under cold water and discard cracked shells or open ones that do not close when tapped. Put them in another saucepan with the white wine, cover and heat for 3–5 minutes, removing them as they open.
-
Discard any that remain closed. Strain the liquid through a very fine sieve lined with clean muslin to remove grit.
-
Add the spinach and strained cockle juices to the stew and cook for 3–4 minutes.
-
Add the cockles and parsley, warm for 1 minute and taste before adding the optional salt. Serve immediately.
