  How long will this keep in the fridge? Is it ok to prepare it a couple of days in advance do you think?

  I had just got back from shopping and realized I had forgotten something to put on my Rivita. I spotted this recipe and had enough spare ingredients to make it. It's a lovely addition to my crisp breads for a very healthy and tasty snack. My mam and I who are both on diets will be using this one again!!

  Really tasty pate / dip. Didn't have any smoked paprika so used 3/4 tsp of sweet paprika and 1/4 cayenne, and I used green lentils. Worked out fine

  I was looking for a healthy lunch box idea - and this is it! Really recommend as it is very tasty. Intend to pack up cucumber slices and cracker breads to go with it. Even veggie-phobic husband has given it the thumbs up. Smashing recipe.

  I made this to take to work for lunch with some veg sticks and olives. It was very easy to make and very tasty! Didn't have smoked paprika so used cayenne and paprika as suggested by another comment here and it gave it a bit of a kick. My son has asked for it in his lunch box tomorrow...result!

  I really enjoyed this recipe! It is very tasty and satisfying with pitta or carrots for lunch. I had some left over, so re-heated it and mixed it in with a mild chicken curry - it added lovely textures and flavours.

  Delicious! We pushed the boat out and had it spread thickly on Hugh fearnley-whittingstall's wholemeal savoury drop scones! Thought the flavour was great and a squeeze of lemon really added to it. A spot of chilli might add some interest too. Will definitely make again.
