This is a good "base recipe." It's important that your lentils are precooked and soft. That part isn't included in the prep time. If you make this recipe just as is, you will most likely find it to be kind of boring. It really needs spices and herbs for more flavor. I used red bell pepper (for color), added garlic, turmeric and some hot curry powder. You can jazz it up however you like, but you definitely must add herbs and spices. Thanx for posting!

This recipe didn't work.... something has to be missing. I let it simmer and the lentils never got soft enough, some got harder. i don't suggest it. i'll keep looking for a good lentil recipe.
