Marc cooked tonight and I was late home because of a thing after work; we haven't lived together long and it is such a treat coming home to find the lights on and a delicious cooking smell in the flat. Tonight it was a deeply spiced (clovey smelling) lentil curry served with rice and an experimental topping of fresh, chopped
lovage, which neither of us had ever eaten before. We decided it tastes like a mix of celery, parsley and (Marc thought) coriander...wolfed it down - lovely.
I have much to learn when it comes to lentils and other pulses - I've just never really cooked them (except various beans in chilli con carne). Marc tells me you need to cook lentils for about 20 minutes, and these were nicely al dente (not mushy) and very satisfying. Clearing up after dinner, the packet of funny little bright orange dried lentils made me think of gluey collages I made at school.
