    My family loved this recipe. We used fresh rather than frozen onions, and added a half teaspoon more salt. When I made it a second time I used half red lentils and cooked in crock pot. When using the crock pot I boiled the water and added to other ingredients. Served with brown rice and cheese - 10/30/09
