Directions don't say it; add lentils in step 3.

I love this! So easy to make, and a great meal to bring to work for lunch (not messy and very flavorful). I double the recipe because we eat it as a main meal rather than a side. I generally use walnuts because I don't have almonds/pine nuts (yum!). - 3/5/17

Wonderful recipe! My only comments are: 1) salt to taste (I found the teaspoon was too much), and 2) the original from Laurel's Kitchen had half the nuts, which I think is plenty. But if you love nuts, go for it! I did enjoy the mixture of almonds and pine nuts. - 7/15/15

We love this recipe and have been making it for years, I was so happy to discover that someone else had already entered it. This is a GREAT main dish, side dish, and potluck contribution. The nuts and raisins make it especially rich and filling. - 9/10/09
