John here. I did the recipe bit on Berni’s blog the other day and I made a bit of a hash of it. (Cookery joke.)
First, I said cook at 350 degrees because that’s what it says in my old book - but of course they meant 350 Fahrenheit, which is about 180 Centigrade/Celsius. Sorry! I don’t think about degrees when I cook. (My excuse is that we have an Aga, so to me it’s either hot oven or moderate oven.)
Second, I forget to mention that we always have this with baked potatoes - although you might have noticed spuds in one of the photographs.
Also, a friend tells me my instructions about adding ingredients are a bit confusing. Basically, you chuck them all in in any order and then mix well, but I do think it’s a bit better if the lentils go in hot.
I think I’d better leave the blog to Berni now! I’m glad she wanted to include this recipe, though. The dish really is unusual - and mouth-watering.
