| The Lord of the Rings: Lembas |
Lembas is easily one of the most popular recipes from The Lord of the Rings so when I created a recipe for it I wanted it be perfect. There is an incredible amount of history tied to lembas and creating this recipe felt like I was digging a recipe out of the history books.
"Lembas, Elvish waybread. One small bite is enough to fill the stomach of a grown man"
Lembas translates to journey bread and has said to leave a man filled for an entire days journey. This waybread is supposedly tastier than cram and the recipe was closely guarded and was only given to outsiders once, the fellowship.
The leaves from the Mallorn tree in Lothlorien wraps and keeps the lembas fresh for days if kept unbroken. Mallorn trees grew in Lothlorien and the leaves turned gold in the autumn. In this recipe I decided to use banana leaves because it helps keep the lembas fresh longer and and it helps impart flavor. Keep reading to see how I wrapped the lembas.
