Congratulations on your Blue Ribbon LoriAnn and I love lentils too. It's a Greek and Italian thing, both grandparents make things with lentils all the time. Thanks

Tip for those who want to keep lentils whole: soak them in cold water for one hour before cooking, and always keep them below a simmer during the cooking process.

Looks delicious. I'm going to try these today -does it matter what kind of lentils you use? I just purchased some french lentils and was thinking about trying them..?
Martha, thx for the tipon keeping them below a simmer - I prefer they have some texture left! :) And this recipe looks perfect for that.
