Dulce de Leche is a caramel like confection from Latin America. Dulce de leche is used to flavor candies or other sweet foods, such as cake, cookies and ice cream. My favorite uses of it are in a Banoffee Pie, filled in Tarts or swirled in a Brownie Batter like in this recipe Dulce de Leche Brownies which is absolutely Aah-MaZing! It also makes a good fruit dip. Dulce de Leche is not available ready-made in many countries, and that is why had the dire need to teach myself how to make it at home. A homemade form of Dulce de leche sometimes is made by boiling an unopened Can of Sweetened Condensed Milk for two to three hours in a pot of water or 30 to 45 minutes in a pressure cooker. I love using the pressure cooker, it saves so much time in preparing meals or in this case a terrific confection.
Lentils have been around for ages, they are among the oldest known foods, but it is only recently they get a place at the table globally. Lentils are as good for the environment as they are for our health. They are super versatile and a powerhouse of nutrients.
