MY ‘MULTI-CULTI’ LENTILS

By Manuela | July 26, 2016 | InAll Recipes, Blog, Mains

I call this dish ‘multi-culti’, as it is a combination of different ingredients from
of all over.
Starting with the wonderful Tropea onions my friend Leigh brought me from Calabria, to the many
North African spices, the French Pui lentils to the bio Swiss buckwheat!
