These make a nice vegetarian dinner. It needs the yogurt topping to cool your mouth a bit, so don't skip it! It's pretty peppery.

I made some changes, but absolutely loved it. I added a clove of garlic, a carrot and a stalk of celery to the onions. After the onions were done I added the water and lentils right to the pan. I also substituted 2 chicken bouillon cubes for the salt. When everything was cooking I realized I didn't have any bulgur so I substituted quinoa. The lemon really adds to it, and is necessary in my opinion. Will definitely make again.

This was an enjoyable and different way to have lentils. I added some extra flavors - garlic, cumin and turmeric (not sure they are particularly Armenian, but they are flavors that I like to add to dishes). Tasted really nice with the yogurt and lemon.

Amazing combination of flavors! I had a bowl with all ingredients and them one of only lentils (without the lemon, yogurt and scallions) but it was much better with the lemon and scallions. The yogurt added a creamer texture but was not necessary.

Pretty good. I'm of Armenian desent and my Mother made a similar dish but more of a soup. My non-Armenian wife loves it and it IS healthy and NO THERE IS NOT TO MUCH SALT!

Definitely not pretty to look at but I enjoyed it. I served it with chicken breast and spinach. I put plain non-fat yogurt over it and that added flavor. My husband's opinion was neutral and my teenage son turned up his nose (as he does with anything new.) Did take a little longer to cook than stated.

Just ok. This recipe is a good starting point, but it needs more flavor. I added chopped bell pepper and celery as well as cumin, but it was still missing something. I will probably play with it some more and figure out what spices it needs. On the plus side, the yogurt topping is a nice touch-adds a little extra tanginess.
