Wonderful dish! To take it up to 5 stars, I add red and/or yellow bell pepper, carrots, and celery. Also season with cayenne, basil, and whatever else I'm in the mood for.

This was excellent! I did switch up the ingredients a tad by adding a teaspoon of garlic and a can of chickpeas but everything else was just as stated and it was DELICIOUS! I also did mix a little bit of broth with the water to give it just a bit more flavor. Definitely a keeper.

I made lentils for the very time with this recipe. Trying to low carb. Took the advice of some other reviers and used chicken broth instead of water. Also added several spices to taste such as cumin, tumeric, coriander, cayenne and celery seed. Also added some fresh silantro. It was really good and I will make it again, next time adding some celery. Thanks for sharing, I would have had no idea what a good base recipe for lentils would have been.

Loved this. Didn't have any bell peppers, but I had some chorizo sausage, which added some great flavour. Also added a dash of soy sauce. I used tinned tomatoes, and served it over brown rice-- delicious.

I used some suggestions and added 1TBSP minced garlic to the saute. Then at the end of cooking added 1/2 tsp ground cumin! Even my kids loved it! Thanks

I thought this dish was quite tasty! I used veggie boullion cubes to boil the lentils and I didn't boil them long because I didn't want them to be mushy. I sauted onions with garlic and carrots and added fresh tomatoes. I didn't have green peppers and didn't miss them. I added pepper no salt as the boullion cubes are salty enough. I then put them all together and cooked for about 10 minutes. The flavor is great! Now the test is if hubby and children like it!!

It was okay, but nothing fabulous. I did add garlic, carrots and cumin for more flavor and that probably helped. I'll probably make it again since I want to start eating more lentils.

Very good! We used two cans of diced tomatoes, including the juice, and added about a 1/2 tsp. of cumin for spice. One of the cans had green chilis in it, and I wouldn't do that again, even though it was still a great dish. Next time I'll be sure not to overcook the lentils (I boiled them over med heat and they were a bit mushy), and I'll also add carrots. Thanks for a great, healthy recipe!

Yum! I cooked my lentil in chicken boullion. I sauteed onion and crushed garlic, then added a can of diced tomatoes with garlic and a few teaspoons of chopped jalapenos. I added the cooked lentil with a little broth. I also oven roasted a chicken breast (400 for 1 hour covered in foil with cayanne pepper and garlic powder). I added the chicken after I shredded it into big chunks. Simmered everything for about 15 minutes.

I paired this dish with a mix of wild and arborio rice. I used fresh diced roma tomatoes (unpeeled), which worked well when cooked down thoroughly. Add artichoke hearts (from can or jar) for some great flavor. I also added paprika, cumin, sage, dill, and curry powder, and it turned out really yummy!

Excellent! I chopped four garlic cloves, half an onion, one red bell pepper and a can of diced, stewed tomatoes (drained) as the base, sauteed those, then added 1.5 cups of lentils, 2 cups of chicken broth, 1 cup of water and simmered for about an hour, and these lentils came out fantastic! I added salt and a dash of cumin after they were cooked, and they made a meal all by themselves. Great recipe...thanks for posting.

A little plain on it's own - added some cumin, garlic and coriander chutney to it, that helped it out. It's still missing something but I can't put my finger on it.

With a little tweaking, my family loved this recipe. I followed advice from others and added cumin. I also added some carrots, red peppers and celery. I cooked the lentils with one cup of water and one cup of chicken stock. Will definitely make again.
