Simply a simple suggestion to you

Add the rinsed lentils

Trim the ends off of the many garlic segmets of the 3 cloves and add

Carefully trim the marrow and slice but waste as little as posible.

I believe that the marrow repays you abundantly with the end result for not wasting any part of it.

Add the shrimp paste and the third of a stock cube.

Chop the tomato and add along with the ground white pepper.

Add the sliced peppers and the chopped mushrooms.

Bring to boil and simmer until the lentils are cooked.

You might like to try adding a cooking apple sliced to this recipe if you like, or some lemon zest or i even wondered about a crused dried lime but i chose not to.

When the meal was cooked i tried it hot and really loved it.

I tried it cold and it was equally as nice.

Then...... I tried it with the Greek feta style cheese.

Yum yum yum yum yum! The combination which i was slightly afraid of and doubtful of totally surprised me with the marrow dong a performance all of its own with even the skin totally being scruptions and then the feta melted away in the mouth against the soup itself.

Totally yummy!

I hope you enjoy if you try it.

And no-one even said i smelled of garlic at all?
