Rustic Martinican Grilled Lentils Dumplings

Assemble the ingredients: lentils, black pepper, garlic, parsley, water, onion, paprika.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the lentils and cook until grilled.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Martinican flavors.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning; the flavor should deepen as it cooks.

Plate and serve with traditional Martinican accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
