Really wanted to like this but I did not. Seemed a little bland despite the herbs.

My family LOVED this. I followed the recipe as written except I substituted water for the dry wine/broth. Both the rice and the lentils were perfectly cooked in about 1.5 hours. I will omit the additional salt next time and there will be lots of next times. Delicious! Thanks for the recipe!

This dish was really good and my family really enjoyed it! I used 3 cloves of garlic instead of the garlic powder, but otherwise followed the instructions exactly. It was ready in about 80 minutes.

Made this as-is, minus the swiss cheese, which I think should be an optional ingredient. We didn't care for the mixed texture of the rice and lentils- myself, I love lentils, the boys like rice. Was hoping to get the boys to like lentils, didn't work with this recipe. The wine is a nice addition, but I wasn't 'wowed' by this dish.

I LOVE LOVE this recipe. I'm a vegetarian and I have been looking for a recipe with lentils that doesn't leave them tasting so bland. I will be making this many times in the future. I didn't have any vegetable broth, so I just used water, and I added mushrooms because I had a bunch on hand. I used a clove of garlic instead of garlic powder, and I replaced the thyme (not a fan) with cayenne pepper for some spice.

Hubby and I both like this dish. I'm trying to encorporate more lentils into our diets and less meat. I didn't have any brown rice on hand except instant so I used Jasmine rice and I also substituted fresh basil for the dry, I had no dry and I have six or seven basil plants in my kitchen. I only needed it to cook for 1 1/2 hours. Will make thsi again.
