  I tried dried Puy lentils instead of tinned. This made the kebab mixture dry, so I moistened with extra water. They still fell apart when moved. We both really enjoyed the cucumber and fennel slaw.

  Delicious but not a recipe for a dinner party - I used tinned lentils but my kebabs still fell apart when moved! Will try using a beaten egg to see if they bind better next time.

  Used tinned lentils - left whole (less washing up!) - balls kept their shape - didn't drain properly - but not my favourite.Bloke loved though & even ate fennel/cucumber salad. Did with wedges for him & mushroom risotto for me.

  I used tinned lentils too and though that the meatballs held their shape quite well, but I thought it was quite a bland meal and won't be making it again.

  I took 500 g lamb, one large tin of puy and one large tin of green lentils, lots of mint, some salt and a couple egg yolks, held together nicely and tasty too.

  I followed this recipe exactly the first time round and found that the lamb/lentil balls fell apart when I tried to turn them on the skewers. The second time I made these, I used more minced lamb to the proportion of lentils and they held together much better. They weren't as dry this time either.

  Would have to agree with previous comments. Made for the first time last night - fell apart when moved and agree is a bit bland. Would make it again but add more mince, spice up the kebabs and tweak the salad - maybe add some mint or make a lemon/olive oil dressing instead of the yoghurt.
