    Really tasty, had to modify a little by what I had on hand. I didn't have celery and only had tomato sauce but also added garlic. Yummy recipe. - 4/27/09

    Excellent! I love lentils! I made mine in a pressure cooker though, and that shortened the cook time to like 10 minutes or so. :) - 3/18/09
