  Really tasty and easy to make, very light and fresh for a rice dish. I used it as a side dish to a chicken bake but we've got lots left!

  I made this as a side dish for a crowd so doubled the quantities and made it one day ahead of the party. I don't think I would change anything in the recipe because this rice dish received lots of compliments on the day and several guests asked me for the recipe. It is very easy to make - the most labour intensive part being slicing the spring onions! Perfect for buffets and barbecues. Easy, fresh and delicious.

  Ooops! I did change one thing in the recipe! I used white basmati rice as I don't like the brown and as you can see from my comments above, it worked very well. PS: I cooked the rice in my rice boiler

  Good - fresh and healty tasting rather than delicious - but is great to have with a really spicy meat or chicken dish.

  Would make a good side for a BBQ or at a party but not one I will make for the family again. It does taste good but not really what we would norm eat.

  Did this for a BBQ for 20 people. There was loads! Not many people chose it but those who did really enjoyed it, including me. I didn't add any coriander or salt but would add both if I did it again.

  I made this as a side dish, only thing i changed was i added some sweetcorn as there was some it the fridge which needed using up! If i were to make again i would halve the amount of lemon juice as was just a bit too lemony for our tastes.

  I made this for a BBQ and it went really well. We're going to try it again for packed lunches.

  This was quite good but felt something was missing flavour wise so I added a little light soy sauce and it did the trick !

  This was delicious! I was making it in a smaller quantity so left out the chickpeas as did not want lots of have used tins of pulses to use up! Will definitely do again and add chick peas for a larger crowd.

  A friend of mine found made this the other day and it was really quick and easy to prepare; not to mention yummy. The squeeze of an extra lemon did wonders. It was great both warm when freshly prepared and the cold the next day. Its not so heavy that it makes a great side but is also wholesome enough to be a main on its own. *double thumbs up*

  Very nice, made it for a BBQ. Didn't put as much oil in as recommended as that sounded like a lot too me. It still tasted nice! Very lemony, but I like that. Shame you have to make it for 10 though, doesn't appear to be a way to reduce the recipe.

  This was light and tasty. I halved the recipe though and left out the lentils but used a 400g tin of chickpeas. Served with the Grilled Salmon with Chilli Glaze & Lime Creme Fraiche on this site.

  Lovely fresh taste, a little to sharp for me so added some sweet chilli sauce, which worked well it added a touch of chilli heat too.
