I see favorable reviews however, I was very disappointed.
5/2/2010 07:20:17 PM Report AbuseI made the receipe as given and it was great, even better the second day. I did cook in a crock pot, cooking on high until the lentils were done, them simmering for about 30 minutes.
3/22/2010 11:43:17 AM Report AbuseW liked the flavor. I soaked the lentils before for 2 hours. Has anyone made this using a crockpot?
2/24/2010 11:02:47 AM Report AbuseMy lentils also needed a bit longer to cook. :( but overall, it was just okay.
1/28/2010 09:15:11 PM Report AbuseI used the diced tomatoes with peppers. My lentils were cooked perfectly and it tasted good. I'm using the recipe on Feb 7.
