Scrumptious! I love this stuff. For the non-lentil-loving people in my family, I could easily envision making this with chicken instead and cutting back on the liquids. Rather than dragging out the food processor, I used a pastry blender on the tomatoes; it makes life easier. Thanks for the awesome recipe! Wow! Scrumptious! I love this stuff.

However I did have some alterations. I added in some sliced jalapenos when I was cooking the onions and carrots for some extra zing! I also used red lentils instead of green lentils (Sprouts was out of green). I will be enjoying the leftovers today for lunch. Thanks deb! I made this dish last night for dinner and it was wonderful!

Just wanted to thank you for sharing this recipe! I love one-bowl meals that are warming, filling, nourishing, cheap and easy to make... and this one absolutely fits the bill. I have already added this to my mental rolodex of favorite foods. Six years later and it hasn't gone out of style. ;) I was afraid that I would feel rather alone commenting here, six years after the original post… but it appears I was mistaken; that indeed, I am in good company.

I say "move here" because it the opposite extreme of where you are. I adore NY and completely understand the joys of living there. I wanted to make sure that was understood!

CSA veggies galore, locally raised meats, thriving community, farmer's markets, local wine and beer, wonderful Montana cheeses, and lots of room for kids to soak up the world. Not great takeout, but that is fine because in a place like this, you rarely run out of time. I love your site. Thank you! You have a following in Montana!

Every time, I refer to the website. Its on the stove, and its always great. Methinks we'll finally start taking some liberties next time. Also, whenever I come back to this recipe, I look at all the new comments. Its kinda fun to watch smiles unfold over years. Anyway, yeah. Kudos.

I actually found the recipe in the BC cookbook, but then came across them here too, so knew that they would be as good as they looked! They were really filling, but still tasty and interesting to eat. My complaint with a lot of stews is that they just kind of turn to mush and have only one flavor and texture-- not so with this one. And it can be ready in under an hour making it a great weeknight meal. I didn't have red wine vinegar, so substituted apple cider vinegar and it still turned out great Made these this week and they were fabulous.

I happened to have a chicken andouille sausage hanging around in my fridge and threw it in when sauteeing the onions. I too let them stew quit a bit longer than indicated - my husband is picky about texture. Very very tasty. Much better the second day too - I was surprised how well the flavors developed.
