annuncio / announcement: My Legume Love Affair #101

I have the honor of being the host for the November 2016 edition of My Legume Love Affair (MLLA), the popular, legume-centered event that is the brainchild of Susan of The Well-Seasoned Cook and has been hosted by Lisa of Lisa's Kitchen since February 2013.

Participation in the event revolves around a recipe that showcases one or more legumes. The recipe can be savory or sweet but must be vegetarian. The legume (or legumes) must be one of the main ingredients, not a minor character. (Exceptions to this general rule are legumes whose flavor is so intense that they are used in small quantities, like tamarind and fenugreek.)

Example of legumes include (but are not limited to):

• fresh or dried beans of any kind
• lentils
• chickpeas, a.k.a., garbanzo beans (fresh or dried or their flour, a.k.a., besan)
• peas (fresh or dried or their pods)
• fava beans (fresh or dried)
• soy beans (fresh or dried, or their derivative products, like tofu)
• peanuts
• carob beans
• lupini beans

Not an exhaustive list, but it should give you a sense of the wide range of options. Note that in French the word légumes means vegetables, and also legumes. This event is about the second meaning.

Let's celebrate nourishing legumes, especially in this 2016, the UN International Year of Pulses!

You can submit a new post or a post from your archive reposted for the occasion. Only one post per blog, please. You can submit the recipe to other events as well. If you have a recipe to share, but not a blog where to post it, send the recipe and other applicable pieces of information to me and I will add it to the roundup.

The post must include a link to this announcement and also to Lisa's post containing the event's rules and host lineup. Remember to kindly send a nod to Susan, our beloved creator of MLLA. Use of the beautiful logo, designed by Susan, is optional.

To submit your post, please use the Inlinkz form at the end of this post. Important: the form asks you for the URL of the post, the name (title) of the post and your email. The latter won't be published, but it's there for me to contact you, if necessary. 

Should you have any problems with the form, please send an email to simosite AT mac DOT com with MLLA entry in the subject and containing the following information:

1. Your Name
2. Name of Your Blog
3. Title and URL of Your Recipe Post
4. Photo of the dish or legume(s) featured in it, optional (but helpful); maximum width 400px and maximum file size 130kb

If you don't have a blog, you can submit your recipe by sending me an email as described above (except for #2 and #3, which do not apply) with the description of the recipe.

The deadline is Wednesday, November 30 at noon PST.

Feel free to contact me should you have any questions regarding the event and its  rules.
