Rachael really sold me on this recipe when I watched the episode on tv. I am really glad I tried it. I used a rice cooker, which cut the time in half. I will probably use a vegetable stock next time and I might leave the onions in. So garlicky and buttery. I love it!

I happened to have all of these ingredients on hand, minus the bay leaf, and it made a great supper with leftovers. I will use chicken broth to cook the lentils next time to add a bit more flavor.

The first time I made this I felt the lentils could use some oomph. The second time I made it I used chicken broth instead of plain water to cook the lentis. I diced a small onion and left it in the final dish instead of throwing out the onion as the recipe directed. I use exactly two cups of broth, I also used sprouted lentils, as soon as the broth is gone I take them off the heat - perfectly al dente - I prefer them al dente than fully cooked. I used a bit more evoo and garlic for the sauce. My husband and eat the entire lot in one sitting - delicious!

I made this recipe tonight for my husband and I. I made the lentils exactly as described {but used 'dried' bay leaf}. I didn't make sausage to go with the lentils because I'm not a huge fan of sausage generally. I made rice on the side instead. {Rice plus lentils = a 'complete protien'} The lentils had a nice intense garlic flavor due to the raw garlic added when the lentils are still steaming to partially cook the garlic. My advice to anyone making this recipe is to make sure you leave the lentils a tiny bit firm but tender 'Al dente' for a slight cheweyness. This was extreemly easy, simple, cheap and plenty tasty for a quick healthy meal. After I prepared them I couldn't stop sampling them before I served them and I generally have a lot of self controll in that area. The night before I made this recipe, I had made a rich and cheesey potatoe souffle for dinner and I wanted to serve something tonight that is light, healthy & low in saturated fat & this lentil recipe was the perfect solution. It's also great for vegetarians too if you leave out the sausage. Maybe I like lentils more than most, but this is a keeper in my book! Thanks Rachael !

I've never had lentils before. I love garlic and I see this is a great medium for the garlic flavor. Easily made in under 30 minutes while my baby took a nap. So happy to be eating a real meal after having my baby. The "math" at the top of the screen showing total time - that's assuming that you're not multi-tasking. Simply start the lentils and the sausages at the same time. While both are boiling, peel the garlic. That's it.

I was pleasantly surprised at how good this actually was. I only had a couple cloves of garlic in the house which still gave a mild garlic taste and used hot chicken sausage. The dish was quick and easy. My husband enjoyed the dish as did I. The leftovers were for his lunch today.

i agree that this recipe took a bit over 30 minutes, but i still enjoy it. i cooked my lentils in half chicken broth half water. i'm a garlic fiend so i used mroe than 4 cloves of garlic and still thought it could use more garlic...

to serve, i added dollops of greek yogurt which is my personal substitute for sour cream. the coolness and thickness of the yogurt complemented the heat and heartiness of the lentils and of the jalapeno chicken sausage i used.

will definitely use this recipe again! a simple no carb but filling meal!
