delicious, easy and filling - good way to use up leftover chicken or beef - recipe could use a bit of tweaking as far as how much of each ingredient to use - I used 2 carrots, 1 med onion, 4 med potatoes and half a small (tiny) can of tomato paste. Use orange lentils - they cook faster than brown. - 3/5/20
