minutesThis lentils dish was served to us when we were in Imlil, in the High Atlas. It is a heavenly place, breathtaking nature, peaceful. People live there from the cattle and agriculture in total harmony with nature. There is time and attention for each other and the people who are visiting the place. And attention for food and cooking. One evening we had this side dish, cooked bij dear Aicha. Heavenly like Imlil. A place we always long for. A place we always go back to when in Morocco. Several times. As often as we can. Also to catch up with Aicha and Brahim and the others.
