Hi Deb sweetie - and good morning! I have really started using lentils lately and I love the idea of subbing them for the beans in this dish, which is also one of my favorites. Thanks so much for the great recipe - I'll be trying this soon. I hope you have the sweetest day. Hugs, Vickie

I think this sounds just great! Does your dish get a thick gravy or sauce after it cooks like you get with beans and rice? Well I'm definitely going to try this and soon! Thank you so very much for another new recipe to try!
