Recipe

This lentil recipe is fantastic. The first time I made it I wasn't sure how it was going to taste, I thought it might be a little too lemony but was willing to give it a try. This dish is excellent--there is only a subtle taste of lemon which is refreshing. Added it right away to my recipe rotation.
