  1. I had to add 2 cups more water to the lentils to maintain enough liquid for them to cook. The lentils took longer than 10 minutes to cook--more like 30 minutes. The taste was quite good. I served the lentils and chicken over couscous.
     
  2. The lentils took longer to cook than 10 minutes. I had to keep adding chicken stock to them to get them cooked. They were still crunchy after 30 minutes of cooking. I omited the cumin and added fresh basil to the mix and I cooked fresh spinach with the chicken. The taste was decent, but overall I wasn't as pleased with the meal as I had hoped.

I have a passion for healthy and simple dishes with lots of vegetables, although I love a treat every now and again also, especially ice cream!
