This intrigued me with the ingredients and I have red lentils in the house so thought I'd give it a try for lunch. If I make it again I'll skip the oj and soy milk in favor of veggie broth and add a tsp or two of Ras El Hanot (of course that would make it a different recipe altogether). To me this has kind of an off/savory creamsicle kind of taste with veggies and cayenne heat. Well, you never know until you try something and I'm glad that I gave it a try.

This recipe is simple and easy to whip up but overall was just ok.
