Excellent dish. Lots of flavor. Was concerned it would be bland but, the fresh herbs and lemon really jazzed it up!

I made this today (Sunday afternoon for lunches this week and maybe a dinner side or two during the week. It is all I could do to keep myself from eating a whole serving right now. It is a wonderful combination of flavors - hearty, but with a bright taste from the herbs and lemon. Like some of the other reviewers, I could also see doing other things with this - adding meat, kicking it up a notch, but really I think everyone should try it first the way Ellie conceived it!

i've made this many, many times. i enjoy it as is, for sure, but i've also substituted quinoa for bulgar (it's what i had on hand and i've used couscous. all are very good and i agree, it's fantastic hot and wonderful at room temperature! i enjoy the basil, but have also used cilantro - both delicious. i also play w/ the heat. it's a wonderful and inspiring recipe!!

This one definitely satisfies on a cool day. It's hearty, nutty, and filing without being heavy. It takes a while to make, but lasts (and keeps for several days - a perfect lunch to take to work. It kind of makes my house smell like a health food store when I'm making it - I guess it's just the lentils - but just making this dish makes me feel like I'm doing something really healthy.

I've made this recipe too many times to count, and it never disappoints. It's great reheated or even cold. I like to scramble some eggs and add it right in the pilaf. It's just a great combination of both a great flavor and texture. You definitely should try this!!

I made this last night as an accompaniment to baked salmon and it was delicious. I halved the recipe but kept the lentils at ? cup. And I cooked the bulgur and lentils together ? ? cup bulgur & ? cup lentils + 2 cups of chicken stock. I also used ? red pepper, ? yellow pepper & ? orange pepper. It was healthy, colorful and yummy.

I have made this recipe twice and really enjoy it.

My changes have been to add 1 zucchini or crooked necked squash along with the bell pepper as well as adding 2 T. fresh mint leaves with the other herbs. I serve this as a complete meal.

Regarding the question below about substituting red lentils: No, do not use red lentils in place of the green, red lentils have a totally different texture, they are much softer and can easily turn to a mushy consistency.

This is another tasty, filling, healthy recipe from Ellie. I added a bit more than one TBL of olive oil at the end, because it seemed a little dry. Other than that - it was wonderful! It's good hot or cold, too.
