Lentil Casserole With White Wine
"From fatfree.com, posted by Leanne M. Reidy. I love baked lentil and rice dishes as they are so easy to make and taste great. The wine in this dish gives it a very nice flavor, and I think that a white cheese that goes well with white wine tastes great with it (I used Monterey jack but want to experiment with other more gourmet cheeses). And of course, this recipe is no longer fat free when you cover it with cheese! This was fully cooked at 1 and 1/2 hours in my oven."

I have made this several times, and it is very good. But I have to warn you, that you MUST stir this several times during cooking. DO NOT just "bake uncovered for 2 hours" or you will be seriously disappointed. All the rice and beans float to the top and dry out/burn. It is a disaster!!! Just don't forget to stir it. LOL (yes, I made that mistake once, it was not pretty.) Otherwise, it is delicious, nutty, fluffy, and very filling. -
Really tasty recipe! I've just made it or the 2nd time but in an effort to up the health kicks I added raw linseed and chia and just increased the water. Jut before removing from the oven I added finely chopped Swiss chard along with the cheese. Even the meat eating hubbie gave it the thumbs up -
Very good!! I used a 2 year old white cheddar and made as written - it was done in 1.5 hours. I served with a light green salad. -
Very tasty, hearty meal! As a main dish, this made more like 3-4 servings for us. Mine cooked in an hour and a half, though I did need to add more liquid after an hour. I used Gruyère cheese, and it added a nice richness to the dish. Yum! Thanks AJO!

This is really good. I made it as written except for using a brown and wild rice mixture and topping the casserole with taco & nacho cheese. It took 1 hour and 45 minutes to cook. Made for the Vegetarian/Vegan Recipe Swap.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
<p>I live with my hubby and three feline children in Oakland by Lake Merritt. <br /> <br /> <br />My rating system: <br />5 stars if the recipe works without having to make changes (my own subs just for personal preference do not count) <br />*New Rule: If hubby says "mmmm" or "this is good" without me asking if he likes it, it automatically gets five stars <br />4 stars if the recipe needs a minimal amount of changing because the recipe does not work the way it was written or if overall it just didn't WOW me. <br />3 stars and below if the recipe just does not work or if the instructions are not written clearly enough to make it. <br /> <br />Please know that I will change your recipe to fit my diet. I mean no disrespect, but since I have to diet I have to do it. I refuse to limit myself to recipes that already fit my diet and like the challenge of changing already existing recipes to be healthier. I will leave out the oil, leave out or replace the cheese and milk with a non-dairy alternative, and use whole grains. I will also leave out meat and broth and choose vegetarian, low sodium versions/alternatives. I still rate recipes that I make these changes to. <br /> <br />But, if I use a recipe as inspiration only- meaning I got a great idea from it but changed it all around- I generally will not give any stars but will put a little note stating what I did. I love to give credit where credit is due. <br /> <br />I don't deduct stars if I personally do not like an ingredient in the recipe. I don't make recipes that I think that I won't like, which is why you will probably notice that most of my ratings are pretty high. I think it is silly that people choose to make recipes that include ingredients that they don't like then rate them poorly saying "I don't care for..." Anyway, you get the idea. <br /> <br />I've participated in <br /> <br /><img src="http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m445/mliss29/vegnswap1/group04cherry.jpg" alt="" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m445/mliss29/vegnswap1/group09okra.jpg" alt="" /> <br /><img src="http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m445/mliss29/vegnswap2/group02banana.jpg" alt="" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m445/mliss29/vegnswap2/group12starfruit.jpg" alt="" /></p>
