  Delicious and so fast! I eyeballed the amounts so may have used more lentils, but it looked nothing like the picture - it was really thick and red/orange. Used dried apricots and they worked great. Served it with couscous, great mid-week treat.

  This is gorgeous!!! To combat the wateriness, I cooked the giant couscous I was going to serve it with in with stew. This absorbed some of the liquid. I really can't wait to make this again. Absolutely lush!

  Delicious. Didn't look like picture. Added almonds and chickpeas and a dash of tomato purée. Mixed the pomegranate seeds in with some couscous as a side dish.

  Made this tonight and it's absolutely fabulous! Served with a rice dish cooked with a combination of basmati rice, wild rice and quinoa. Such a hearty while healthy meal. Great for winter evenings. Thanks very much.

  delicious! I couldnt find the spices required so used Tagine paste instead. It turned out absolutely lovely. Even my normally fussy 2 year old loved it and asked for more! I served it with some soured cream on top to cool down the spices for her. Will definitley be making it again!

  Made this eve and really tasty for a non- slow cooked stew... I added tin toms and about 50g ground almonds and it was lovely :-) cooked for double the time though as lentils weren't cooked after just 15 mins. Nice and simple...

  Made this twice now - went down well each time. Agree that it is a bit too liquid, but that is easily adjusted. Definitely best with the little hits of pomegranate and mint, so worth the trouble if you can get them. We used up the leftover pomegranate with yoghurt as a fresh, tasty & healthy dessert. This dish also freezes well, so make extra and save effort next time.

  Really easy to cook, everyone enjoyed it...will definitely do it again. Reading some other comments about it being too watery, I used 500ml of stock instead of the 750ml stated, and the consistency was perfect

  Loved the different flavours in this recipe..I ate it with basmati rice the day after I made it and it tasted delicious. My hubby is very fussy and turned his nose up when he saw it in the pan ready to warm up...he loved it and I will definitely be making it again! Yummy
