I love lentils. But sometimes the whole Indian lentil / dal situation feels like too much work!
Lentils are nutrient-dense powerhouses packed with vitamins, minerals, plant-based protein AND fiber so I wanted to create a lazy version so we can enjoy them without much effort. And I can truly attest to how delicious these turned out! Minimal effort. Maximum flavor. That’s how I like to roll.

When it comes to improving our health, one of the simplest yet highly impactful actions we can take starting today is to eat more fruits and vegetables.
All vegetables of all colors carry unique gifts in terms of health enhancing micronutrients but it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that dark leafy greens are veg VIPs in terms of their nutrient density.

We recently lost my father in law, Ismail to a long, heartbreaking battle with Parkinson’s disease. It’s safe to say that my love for cooking and my self-taught culinary ‘expertise’ was deeply influenced by Ismail who was a brilliant, classically trained chef in his own right.
I am committed to keeping his memory alive for my kids, husband and myself through his wonderful recipes. This black bean soup is emblematic of his style of cooking — unabashedly packed with flavor while still paying homage to classical techniques. It’s loosely inspired by Cuban black bean soup with hints of cumin and d ..read more
