    Delicious meal, even the kids loved it! I used tinned brown lentils, and added onion, garlic, Italian herbs and extra tomato paste. I think I’d use less water next time.

    Oh wow! This is really good, so much flavour!. I used french brown lentils which meant it took about 40 mins to cook but the result was well worth it! I'm not a full blown vegetarian but recipes like this make it easy to avoid meat. Thanks tmrc_emoticons.)

    I love this recipe, it's really delicious and full of good stuff. I only add a bit of water and it works out really well.

    My husband made this and we both really enjoyed this dish (he eats meat & I don't).  We added 1 onion with the vegetables, used 2 tblsp Thermomix stock paste and topped the meal with parmesan cheese.  Really delicious and made plenty for two more meals for us.  We used red split lentils which worked well.  Thank you

    Yum! Used canned lentils instead and omitted the water and just put them in for last 10 mins.
