This recipe made me love lentils even more. I stir fried the veggies for a couple minutes before adding the rest because I really like the fried taste of the onions. I added some more of these lightly fried onions on top at the end. Plus a little dollop of sour cream. So good!!

The recipe was a little bland. Next time I may add more spices or substitue part of the water for broth. <br/>Overall, very easy to make.
