The Recipes
Ginger Lemon Lentil Porridge
Inspired by Khicidi (or Khichri) with plenty of gentle lentils, this recipe is a great source of protein and nutrition. We added lots of lemon ginger and aromatic ginger sesame oil for a proper warming bowl of serious cosy goodness.
Sun-dried Tomato & Herby Yoghurt Lentil Bowls
The herby yoghurt dressing and salted cashews make these lentil bowls feel a bit luxurious. It’s the perfect thing to make when you’ve got your friends over.

Lentil, Potato and Cumin Soup with Crispy Onions
This is my take on shorbet el adas, a Lebanese soup of creamy lentils, warming cumin and zingy lemon. A soothing winter dinner.
