    I used homemade chicken stock to cook the lentils and the bulgur and this dish is amazing! - 9/15/12

    Oh my! This is delicious! I did add salt when cooking the bulgur and lentils, as well as adding the spices RUTHXG suggested when cooking the lentils. Will definitely make this again! - 7/23/11

    I made it with red lentils & overcooked them, but it's still delicious. I added cumin, turmeric, & red pepper flakes, as well as salt & black pepper. Yum! - 6/18/11

    this looks great - making it tonight - but seems like it needs a little bit of spice! I will be adding some cumin and red pepper flakes to give it a little kick. - 1/29/10

    Hi - I am always on the lookout for tasty lentil recipies that are gluten free. I'll try this using brown rice and see how I like it. Thanks for sharing. - 12/4/08
