    My vegan friend and I enjoyed this very much. Good flavor. I used pink lentils and served with flatbread. - 4/8/11

    This is just ridiculously tasty! I like the flavor of the lentils on their own so much that I didn't even bother with the bread or anything, I just ate it as it is. I'll definitely be making this again. - 1/7/11
