    Good
    This recipe looks great and I can't wait to try it, but I am wondering when I would add the lentils. - 10/7/09

    Lentils can be added at the begining when you had the broth, they just need to be rinsed and will cook up with the stew. They are one of the easiest legumes to cook with.
