This dish is a great different way to make Lentils! The flavors are very unique and the meal satisfying. Serve it up with some wheat flatbread and enjoy. Even my 10 year old liked it!

This sounds very good. We make lentil soup often in the winter. With a few difference, our family's recipe is similar to yours. Nice post... Jim
