This was ok nothing bad about it but it was not a huge hit with my kids. My fiancee and I finished it off it was kinda bland. - 2/13/13

I think the calorie count is wrong on this recipe. Spark gives the calories for cooked lentils....the calories for 1 cup of raw lentils is 678 (not 224).
Nonetheless, it was delicious. - 5/3/09

this was delicious, filling and so easy to make. Thought next time I might try it with some mexican seasonings. - 3/20/09

I've made this for years. It's from the More With Less cookbook. My family loves it, but I only use 1 onion and usually increase the herbs. We especially love it with crusty bread. - 3/11/09

This is a family favorite. Our recipe has slight variation in herb amounts but is always a family hit. It gets more flavorful the next day. - 1/27/09
