Lamb, Lime and Lentils

Home cooked food is great and today's is quite unusual: Lamb, Lime and Lentils. Her and I were at an Iranian friend of hers this evening where she cooked this wonderful spicy stewed tender lamb, cooked with lentils and about a dozen and a half whole limes, which is something I had not seen before. The limes had turned jet black and look quite alien amongst the orangy-brown hue of the stew served on white rice. Beautiful flavours; the outer skin of the limes were soft enough to be separated with a fork and spoon to reveal insides blackened and hollow, but for the pithe and mellow tart juice. Very unusual but quite excellent. Dessert was the complete opposite to sour - a berry loaded Eton Mess. Yum!
