This was nice. It took at least an extra 30 minutes to cook and the extra water that would not fit was needed later in the cooking. I think next time, I will add some ground cumin and coriander seeds
I tried this with canned lentils. Left out the water and added them after 20 mins cooking. Then cooked another 5 mins. Was still a little too much liquid so would probably cut back on the vino next time but was a tasty soup.
Lovely flavours, but I couldn't fit 750g water in the machine without going over the maximum line, and also lentils were still quite hard at the end... I might try soaking them first next time..
Ive been wanting to cook with these lentils for ages! Your recipe was fantastic! Thankyou
