I enjoyed this casserole, but made some miner changes. Added more spice than called for, used bottled pasta sauce, and canned diced tomatoes. Overall, I thought it was alright.

I LOVED this dish. I'm sure it would have been great as written, but I made a few changes and it came out really well: I diluted a can of garlic & basil pizza sauce to use in place of the tomato sauce, doubled the oregano, basil, and cumin, and added a few drops of hot sauce to the vegetable mixture. I also cooked the rice in vegetable broth instead of plain water and added 1/2 tsp. of onion powder to the broth for even more flavour. Thanks for the great recipe!

Great Recipe. Modified it a bit to my tastes. Used organis vegetarian broth instead of water, add some ginger and used 4 oz more of the tomato paste. Should have added some more peper however. Got rave reviews from my boyfriend who is a very picky eater! Served it with some fried zucchini slices and a green salad.

Very tasty! I used minute rice and I substituted cauliflower for the zucchini and marinara sauce for the tomato sauce, because I had those ingredients. I also crumbled up some tofu into the veggie mixture instead of using lentils because, sadly, even though I have been a vegetarian for over two years now, I cannot make lentils, per anyone's instructions. I will definitely make this dish again.

This was good, but nothing spectacular. I cooked the rice and lentils in the same pot, and instead of sprinkling the second half of the spices over top, I mixed them into the remaining tomato sauce. Instead of a fresh tomato, I used half a can of petite diced tomatoes. This has a great combination of vegetables, but I think it could benefit from a little extra tomato sauce on top, or perhaps some cayenne pepper in with the spices. Still, I thought this was pretty good, very healthy and I'll probably make it again.
