This delicious dal recipe comes to us from Martin Hill. Made with warming spices like black cardamom, cinnamon and smoked paprika. Our Organic Olive Green Lentils are a great addition to any dal, as they keep their shape well and bring a nutty flavour. Topped off with crispy paneer and quick pickled red onion. We’re very lucky to have a couple of lovely recipes from Martin, but if you’d like more you can head over to Barcombe Nurseries’ website. Martin not only runs the organic farm and veg box scheme there, but he also develops seasonal recipes for their customers. |
