Added some extra garlic and an extra cup of stock near the of cooking time; used a slow cooker. Delicious - this recipe is a keeper! Perfect warm, hearty meal for winter.
Versatile recipe. Didn't have the 3 hrs 30 minutes before supper, so I sauteed the onions in oil, cumin, and curry instead of coriander. Threw it all in the pressure cooker with a package of frozen carrots. Pressure cooked on high for 45 minutes. Thickened up more than expected, but the water added after cooking brought it back to a good consistency. It was delicious.
Delicious! I’m a lentil lover and this was so very good . I used the veggie broth instead of just water and added an additional cup of broth during the last hour. It’s an excellent vege stew!!
This was very tasty. I made it exactly as written using half and half red and green lentils
Not a huge lentil fan but I thought this recipe was great! I was shocked that I had every single ingredient on hand (not normally the case). I read all the reviews since there weren't that many. I agree that it needs more liquid so I started w/6 C. water. Ended up adding 2 more cups over the cooking time so I would say this stew/soup needs 8 C. water. I used Better Than Bouillon Veggie Base and I probably went a little overboard on that but it was still good. I'm not a vegetarian so I might try chicken or beef broth next time. Might back off a little on the cumin and experiment with other spices. To the reviewers who say their lentils were still crunchy...did you cook it on high? Mine came out perfect & by the way mine looked exactly like the picture ?? Very hearty soup and will def make it again!
I made this, and it tastes good; but it certainly does not look anything like the picture.
This is a very flavorful dish! I followed the recipe exactly, except I added an additional 1 and 1/2 cup of liquid. I'm glad that I did because at the end of the cooking time, there was no liquid left in the slow cooker. I will make again but will either add much more broth or lessen the amount of lentils.
This was delicious and easy. I know it was a vegiterian recipe, but my husband asked me to add stew meat. I used a dutch oven to brown the meat first, then followed the recipe, adding meat back in before simmering. It turned out great. Looking forward to having the original recipe in the future as well.
A lot of cumin. I added slivered left-over steak and some green chili. Delish
