This was sooo good. The real thing also looked much better than the picture above. I halved the recipe but still used a tin of tomatoes. Was lovely and rich.

Delicious and really easy! However I used a punnet of baby plum tomatoes and a table spoon of tomato purée instead of the tinned and left it cooking in the oven on a low heat for a couple of hours.

Had forgotten how delicious this combo could be. Definitely a winner.

Very tasty - hearty winter food. Even fussy stew-hating he and wolfed it down. Only change I made was dried rosemary as I had none fresh

Lovely with or without the sausages

Followed the receipe absolutely scrummy 10/10

This is a fantastic recipe, a firm favourite.

tasty

Delicious! Added a glug of red wine and a little extra hot water near the end (the lentils seemed to be thirsty) and it tasted great. A real rib warmer! I halved the recipe and used 6 good quality pork sausages. Was enough for 2 very generous and filling portions.

Yummy recipe - Used smoked ham instead of pancetta as its all i had, then red wine and celery. Delicious. Finished every last bit!

Did not use bacon, used chorizo instead. Was very simple to make and delicious.

Dead simple and very, very tasty.

I used Toulouse sausages, smoked bacon instead of the pancetta and a mixture of Puy and green lentils....absolutely delicious! One of the tastiest meals I've had in ages.

I'm sorry now I didn't make more... It's all gone! Even my two year old twins loved it!

Really tasty, really easy and I especially like only having one pan to wash up.

It's really good with a couple of tablespoons of wholegrain mustard mixed through when it's cooked as an addition.

Really good and easy to make. Made a half portion for 2 of us and really wished I'd made the full amount. Left out pancetta as I didn't have it, added a splash of wine, used fresh toms instead of tinned and a tin or green lentils rather than the puy lentils - turned out lovely!

I use the base recipe, but modify it with Sicilian sausages (fennel), and use oregano and basil as my herbs. Tend to up the garlic as well.

Turns out fab every time.

Oops, forgot to rate this recipe!!

Have made this dish loads of times and it is always delicious. I will try green lentils in future, like other people have suggested, as I find it difficult to get puy lentils. I usually use good quality pork sausage insteak of Lincolnshire.

Really enjoyed this - packed full of flavour. I could only find ready to eat puy lentils so added these for the last 20 minutes.
