    Can anyone tell me how much thyme to use - it isn't given in the list of ingredients? Thanks

    If you use green or brown lentils then you really need to soak them for an hour in cold water before you start cooking Apart from that it tasted quite good

    would be nice if a vegetarian alternative-to-meat ingredient was given for each recipe.

    Really tasty, would also be good with chicken instead of/as well as chorizo. Good for lunch or a light dinner.

    i missed out the thyme, leeks and parsley and added diced potato (for thickening) and carrots instead ... just before serving i added a splash of white wine vinegar (brings out the flavour) .. this makes for real, tasty, winter comfort food .. it's also very healthy !

    PPS: if you use smoked bacon bits instead of the chorizo you will get just as nice a dish.

    Had some cooked green lentils so added these after cooking the chorizo, onions & leeks. Added the wine & some just cooked brown rice (including the remaining cooking liquid) and cooked for a further 10 minutes. Yum!
