    This recipe is yummy and so easy - just whack it in the oven, drink a glass of wine and it's done! Really nice with fresh bread or toasted pitta. I used ordinary canned green lentils and it's still delicious.

    this recipe was drool worthy! I used it as a side dish to some grilled John Dory. luckily I'd made a huge batch because every scrap of it was eaten!

    I'm new to using lentils but just love puy lentils. Do you think it's advisable to soak before cooking?

    just in response to shirley's question, I don't think it's necessary to soak the lentils first, i never do anyway and tastes good to me!
