Loved this recipe, it makes a ton of food. I added sliced mushrooms after 10 minutes of browning the onions, then a cup of chopped broccoli and 1 clove of chopped garlic after turning of the heat. Mixed fresh mint and parsley to the Tahini sauce.
Yummy, my husband didn't want to quit eating this one. Served with a green salad with evoo and white wine dressing.

Really yummy. I served with fresh pita, feta, calamata olives, and hummus for dinner which was a hit with my husband.

This is a great meal. The proportion of the ingredients in the sauce is a bit off, but this is easily fixed. I suggest that you add the lemon juice a little at a time, until it tastes just right. (I also add more garlic, which I roast a bit first.

The only big problem with this recipe is that my local grocery store didn't have tahini or bulgur. I had to try a couple different stores, but the unique flavor of the tahini and texture of the bulgur made it worth the effort.

We really enjoyed the pilaf topped with tomatoes and herbs. The pilaf was tender and flavorful yet healthy. The sauce, however, was not a hit. The flavors did not seems to meld well. I think that this pilaf might be interesting with a nice yogurt-cucumber sauce.

Both my husband and I loved this dish. He especially liked the texture contrast provided by the tomatoes. I used french green lentils and cooked those in the microwave. I cut way back on the olive oil. I used about 1/8 cup instead of the 1/2 cup. The sauce is easy to make and delicious. I served this dish with a minted cucumber salad on the side.

It was okay. but the Sauce ingredients just didn't seem right. The sauce came out very liquidy- and I wasn't expecting that.

A little too much lemon in the sauce as well.

Healthy tasting.

This is a good protein and fiber packed meal--with some tweaking. First, the lentils will need to cook longer than 15 mins- at least 30. Second, don't skimp on the onions- and saute them a long time until they get carmelized. Trust me- you won't be disappointed. Last, add a bit more lemon and garlic to the sauce. Top with lots of fresh mint and tomatoes! Voila!

I have really enjoyed eating this. Once you cook it, you can drag home and eat it again very easily. I pile it with tomatoes and fresh herbs.

One warning-the tahini sauce calls for TOO much lemon juice. Prepare with caution.
