This was pretty good. I used red lentils, and I think they are too delicate here, so they turned to mush by the time the dish was cooked. The dish could do with some more zing, so I added a squeeze of lemon juice on top at the table. Very healthy and low in calories. Thanks!

Ok, seriously, lentils+ apples+ barbecue sauce? What a combo, I was shocked. I followed the recipe so closely, I was proud of myself. Only, non-significant changes I made were to sub the veg. bouillon for a little salt, add a pinch of pepper and chilli powder, and leave all the peels on. And I used 3/4 a cup of peas, I liked the color:D Sooo yummy, and great sized servings.

Very good and the fact that it's so healthy makes it even better. I was a little unsure of the BBQ sauce but the flavors blend very well together. I will definitely make this again.

Yummy! I didn't have any problems with the cooking time as listed. I used red lentils and added some red bell pepper to the mix. Very pretty and kid-friendly, yet different enough to serve to guests. Will make this one again!

amazing! Loved it, everyone (including both kids 1.5 & 4.5) thought it was amazing. Used green lentils and this stuff called "mopping sauce" because we didn't have barbeque sauce, and it was wonderful. Thanks

I made this to-night and with very few changes - I added another carrot, some celery and a parsnip I had in the frig. Also I only cooked the lentils 10 minutes before adding the vegetables. We're trying to have more vegetarian meals and we both agree - this is a 10+. I'll definitely be making this more often - really, really delicious.

This was very good, but turned out more like a soup. I respected the directions, but in retrospect the quart of water might have been too much, as the other ingredients give out juice also (tomatoes etc). The paprika does not come through at all when you use just the half a teaspoon. The apples stayed a bit hard, but that might have been that I used red delicious, while granny smith are better for cooking. Very good and healthy dish otherwise.

This stew tastes OK (I have tasted for seasoning). However, I started cooking this on Tuesday morning and, it is now Wednesday (almost midday), and the lentils are still not soft. I have added more and more water in the hope that the lentils will absorb it but so far no luck. Can anyone explain this and tell me if I can save the dish - I hate wasting food and I can't serve this to my husband as it is; a farmer needs a decent meal in the evening!!!!

I just love this recipe, although it's more like a soup than a stew. It's incredibly tasty, and easy to make.

I have to admit, while it was cooking I was unsure of it all. It turned out wonderful. My 11 year old wanted to give it 100 stars. Only changes I made were that I doubled it, I used chicken broth (5 cans in a double batch) instead of water and vegetable boullion, and I used a can of fire roasted diced tomatoes in place of the tomatoes. Hearty, tasty and healthy! Thanks!

This was just okay to me (more like 3.5 stars).... a little bland even after I added the additional spices suggested by other reviewers. The tasty lentil tacos recipe on this website is much better.

Wow, this recipe is so good and a wonderful take on your regular lentil soup. I added chopped celery, doubled the garlic, used chicken stock instead of water, and substituted a 14.5 oz can of petite diced tomatoes for fresh ones. Put in all of you vegetable at the beginning if you want them soft, which I do. The addition of cumin powder, chili powder, and a few dashes of hot sauce makes this stew just right. Purée half of the soup for a rich consistency. Reserve the peas to add during the last couple minutes of cooking. I wouldn't purée the peas. This healthy, satisfying soup is a keeper. Serve with brown rice.

MUST MAKE THIS RECIPE!!!!! I read all the great reviews as well as other recipes of Lentil Stew/Soup to compare ingredients... I decided upon this one. Of I did add/substituted a few things as my Southern Roots require a little more spice and flavor than what is listed. Does come out kinda soupy and the recipe does make a pretty decent sized pot! I added celery, onion, crushed red pepper flakes, cumin, and more garlic and black pepper than mentioned. Sauteed all those til the onion were transparent. Instead of water and boullion I used 2 small cans 14.5 oz chicken broth and 1 can of water. Simmer 20 minutes. Then I substituted can tomatoes for I huge fresh tomato diced and added diced beef kielbas sausage and a little green onion and frozen spinach... did not have any peas on hand. To make the consitency a little Stew like, i just took my Stick blender directly into the pot(I dont reccommend this unless you have done this before) and blended just a lttle.

This was awesome. My daughter is vegan and I'm doing WW so it was a perfect blend! I did 6 servings, used veggie broth and water, as some reviewers suggested, added some cumin & cayenne pepper and extra paprika (I like lots of flavor) and didn't add any salt since the veggie broth supplied plenty. Will make this again and again. My daughters also suggested adding black beans and corn. This recipe is so versitile, you could use all sorts of veggies and spices to customize it to your tastes. Thank you for sharing!

I thought this was pretty good and very stew-like. Easy to make, healthy and the apple was an unexpected twist. (No fresh tomatoes in the house so I substituted crushed tomatoes from a can.) I like the idea of adding sausage or chicken.

Delish!! I have been making a shorter version of this recipe for years, and my husband came up with the idea of adding bbq sauce to the finished dish. We've been eating it that way ever since! I used chicken sausage w/ apples and added a little cayenne pepper to kick it up a bit. Perfect balance of sweet, spicy and salty. Also, in placeo of broth or salt, I have used onion soup mix instead (omitting some of the chopped onion as well). We usually pair with rice or cornbread and dollop with bbq sauce. Great as leftovers, too!!!
