My first time cooking lentils. . .and I love my crock pot so this was fun. I made the recipe as written. My lentils were not done after 7 hours on low, so I then kicked it up to high for 2 more hours and that did the trick. The problem then was that the meal had that all too familiar "crock pot" taste. The sour cream is a great addition to the flavor of the lentils, so don't leave that part out. Made for Aus/NZ Recipe Swap #30.
