I love lentils. They are comfort for food for me. Plus, they are nutritionally sound so when I eat 2 servings of this delicious recipe, I won't feel too guilty! Thanks!

This recipes looks delicuious! We love lentils in our home. I grew up eating them, and so have my girls. I'll have to make this for my family. Of coarse my Grandmother's recipe that I've used for years is much simpler than yours, so I hope I can do yours justice!
Thanks, Michael...

This is awesome. I just picked up some couscous ....was going to use my Couscous with Fruit recipe(of which I need to add a picture), but I'm going to try this! I've been making lentils lately, too. I'm having trouble finding wheat couscous. I barely found the white...
