    Incredible!
    Wow! that is really good. I've never had lentils before and every week I am trying to cook at least 2 new meals. This seemed like a really easy recipe and it was. I used Vidalia onion which made the onion flavor milder, but still excellent. I will definitely make this again. - 6/28/07
