Lentils. I know, I know.. there is more then one kind of lentils out there! Which ones am I using for the soup!? Red. Red!? Yes, red! I don’t know all those kinds of lentils. Lentils don’t grow here in Latvia and I’m not the expert of lentils. Just stick with colours!
This recipe is from the book I received yesterday: Easy vegetarian one-pot. Actually the FIRST recipe in that book. I got through the book yesterday and I can say – I love this book! This book defiantly goes with us on the trailer trip this summer.
