Did this in my slow cooker and it was very yummy . I did add the lemon at the end too..decided I could have a pieces of garlic bread with it as so low on cals.. will do again. My 11 yr old loved it too

Easy, fast, economical, and - most importantly - TASTY! Would definitely make again, probably adding onions next time, as I love onions. Gotta love dishes where there isn''t a tonne of washing up afterwards!

mmmm really really good! Hardly any fat and actually really delicious, like Becy I thought it might be bland, but it was awesome!

Love this. Made a patch yesterday, and family demanded more today. Changed the recipe to have 1/2 lentils and 1/2 chickpeas. Also a good helping of dried chili flakes. Yummy!

Made this for lunch, it was delicious with loads of flavour. Thanks Becy for the hint of the lemon juice.

This dish lacked flavour. The lentils also didn''t go with the potato and pumpkin.

Oh forgot to mention... I added a squeeze of lemon juice at the end. Works wonders with curries I find.
