I think this has potential, but I will be cutting back the salt to 1 tsp and halving the vinegar. Also I will be blanching the carrots for a few minutes first!

Really good until I added the TABLESPOON of salt to the sauce. That must be a typo.

Very good dish. I was forced to make changes, however because I couldn't find French green lentils I used regular green lentils. Didn't have turnip either. Per other reviewers I reduced salt to 1 TSP. of Morton's kosher salt and it's just right. Perhaps if I followed Zereh's recommendation of a different brand of Kosher salt I may have used the recommended amount! Also glad I reduced Dijon to 1 tsp. It was just right for my tastes. Will try to make again when I find the right lentils.

Five star. Wonderful recipe. Very easy if you think ahead. I used cubed turnip found at food mart. Once cooked you can cut them up and serve with lentils too. ONE TEASPOON salt is ample for this as noted below. I was warned in advance thank goodness. The cloves also make this extra special. Leeks are a pain so would be interested to know if a substitute like red onion is adviseable.

FABULOUS!! Followed recipe exactly, although the turnip scared me-I
really don't like them. But just cutting it 1/2 to boil with lentils & then discarding it, added just the right flavor! Absolutely delicious!

Really great and served with the panko crusted salmon from the same episode. Takes a while to make but is easy to do and definitely worth the extra time!

These were good. They weren't spectacular, but I did like them and will probably make them again at some point.

Warning: 1 TEASPOON of salt in the finishing sauce.
Note: Used 1 yellow turnip cut in half. Recipe said nothing about peeling, but I saw the wax and scrubbed it off with hot water before adding to the pot. Recommend you peel the darned thing instead.

Very tasty and moderately easy. Try it once before trying to serve for guests, because timing (to keep it hot and the lentils not mushy takes practice

Delicious! I used regular lentils, but will try to find French lentils for next time. I warmed the leftovers and put them in a whole wheat pita with some baby spinach for lunch and it was terrific.

Very good and easy. Used regular lentils and had to simmer for 45 minutes and add touch more water. Used only 1 teaspoon of salt and will use less Dijon next time, final dressing was very mustardy.
