I made your red lentil soup for my boyfriend who's Turkish and he LOVED it. Thank you! =)
Oh, this makes me happy. I love eating the stems of chard and beets. The yogurt looks wonderful with them!
We do eat swiss chard stems in Lebanese cuisine with tarator sauce but i always thought it was too heavy for the vegetable. I like your version!
I made this dish tonight along with Pazi Sarma and it was very good! Thank you for the recipe! :)
