  Lovely - used dry green lentils so I did need the extra liquid. Will be making it again

  I made it for a family meal, changed nothing, and will certainly do it again. Everyone loved it

  Really good recipe, althought I agree with other commenters that it needed about half the liquid suggested. I made it with normal potatoes which worked really well.

  I added a small packet of pancetta cubes to the frying onions, it gives a lovely flavour to the lentils. Not very vegetarian though!

  I made this when my mum came to stay. I adapted the recipe slightly, using ordinary potatoes and dried red lentils (so I added extra stock and red wine and cooked the lentil mix for a bit longer). I also added celery, red pepper, mushrooms and tomato puree to the mix for some extra flavour and texture. It was really yummy and one I'll make again.

  We are vegetarians and this makes great dinner. I just use normal potatoes. Children love it.

  One of my housemates is vegetarian, so I try to find vegetarian meals we will all enjoy and was very disappointed. I followed the recipe exactly but found it very bland. Definitely won't be making this again.

  Yum! I thought this might be a bit 'Grub on a Grant', but it was lovely. I used the full amount of wine but added less water (the right way round if you need to cut back on liquid in my book) and also added a sprinkling of ground almonds to thicken it up before putting in the oven. I used white-fleshed sweet potatoes as they're not as sweet, kind of halfway between sweet and 'normal' spuds. Makes enough for at least six I'd say, rather than four, which I'm not complaining about.

  I cooked this the other day, was delicious! I used half chickpeas, half lentils (instead of all lentils). I took the advice from others, and reduced the water to 50ml, but kept the wine at 200ml. Next time I am going to put mushrooms and maybe some other vegetables in too. Great recipe! :)

  Loved it, first time I've willing used lentils and I am a convert. Added some cayenne pepper too. Not a fan of sweet potato so normal mash for me.

  made this as the vegetarian option when cooking shepherds pie for 50+ people. Everyone utterly loved it even die hard meat eaters with a phobia of lentils. Personally I didn't get a chance to try it but only because everyone wolfed it down so quickly!

  Love this. In my opinion the amount of wine is fine, I tend to add a bit of cornflour mixed with a small amount of water to the sauce at the end to really thicken it up and make it all stick together nicely. I also add a clove or two of garlic to the mash and mix the cheese in with it rather than putting on top. A really filling, healthy recipe. It's interesting the comments people have made about using dried lentils, I can see that working quite well and will try it using this method next time.

  My local shop does not seem to have any canned lentils never mind canned green lentils. Is there any alternative i could use? As i assume adding the liquid from the can is important.

  I'm not a vegetarian but I did enjoy this after making it for a vegetarian friend - I made it in 4 individual pie dishes and froze 2, one of which I have subsequently eaten and freezing seemed to intensify the flavour. Loved the sweet potato mash topping
