I was using the Red Lentil and Rice recipe, but it was a bit time consuming. This was fast and everyone liked it better! I double the recipe and we just eat it as a main dish with rice made with 1 cup coconut milk. Yum!

Served with Mustard-Glazed Salmon from same issue and thought it was great. First time I have really enjoyed a lentils recipe. Simple to make, too.
