Do you eat lentils? I've never been a big fan. I think part of it is when I think of lentils, I think of curry, cumin, and other spices that dominate Middle Eastern cuisine. Like I said, not a a big fan...
Recently, I ran across this recipe and what I saw were ingredients I normally liked. Hmmmm. Could I possibly like lentils?
Well, I made it for lunch and it was really good. Not only that, it was really filling. This is dish is perfect for a meatless dinner (or lunch) or would be a great side dish, too.
