     I make a variation of this that I got from a Sue Gregg cookbook. It's so yummy. We eat it in tacos or on a taco salad. Makes great burritos! - 1/7/10

     This is terrific! Pleased both vegetarians and non-veggies, is adaptable and delicious. I used French green lentils--they don't get as mushy as regular lentils--but I'd use regular lentils, too. Mmmm. . - 4/2/10

     Tasty! I didn't have the herbs mentioned on hand, but used one large onion and some curry powder with a touch of chili sauce ('cause I like the spicy). I omitted the cheese, but topped with a dollop of low-fat greek yogurt. Very good! - 12/2/10

     I make this about once every 2 weeks with brown lentils and red rice, then put in single servings in the fridge. I take some out when I want a quick meal or snack, top with a bit of turkish yogurt, and it is quite addictive! - 3/22/10
