    A good basic meal. I found it a bit bland so I’ll probably add some curry powder or other spices next time. It was a nice and easy to make. I liked that the carrots were still a bit hard. I added extra veg: green beans and spinach.

  • When you say, add the rest of ingredients, does it...

    When you say, add the rest of ingredients, does it mean the lentils which were set aside as well?

    Very nice flavours, my carrots were also a bit hard, might use the  mandoline next time to cut them.  Didn't have French green lentils just the regular green lentils. Will definitely make again!

    Yum.  A great vegetarian dish.

    The resting time is important.  When I poured it into the Thermoserver, I think that it had not cooked properly but it was at least another hour before we ate and it was perfect!

  • Who would have thought such

    Who would have thought such weird ingredients could taste so good. Great as a base for some meat on top.

    You really need to cut the carrots a lot smaller/thinner though, as they don't cook so well in that time.

  • Hi Tenina,This was beautiful,

    Hi Tenina,

    This was beautiful, except I'd probably grind the coriander seeds properly for a few minutes on speed 10 at the start because the pieces are quite gritty.

    I presume you meant spead soft instead of interval speed?

    I was amazed at the broth/sauce, it tasted almost like beef stock but was just the tomato & carrot juices, thickened with the lentils. This is on my favourites!

    <one day, I will get around to doing this properly...>
