On Friday January 13th, I was honoured to be a featured guest blogger on Jenny's Savour The Senses Blog. Her blog is spectacular and has given me so much inspiration. My Featured QlinArt recipe is here which I am posting in my own blog now. It's perfect timing with the snowy and icy weather outside, in Montreal. This lentil dish is rich in protein and in flavour. The spice mix and cream make this meal incredibly savoury. It's so easy that you can make it blind-folded (well not literally). Just to say that it's like cooking an egg. If you haven't cooked an egg before, I suggest you start your culinary experiments with the egg first before you try this recipe.
