  Give me a BREAK????

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  This stew was DELICIOUS!!!!! Now, if you are a meat and potatoes person it's understandable that you wouldn't go nuts over this recipe. Next time when you see a pound of lentils and 8oz of meat in a recipe, you may want to pass that one up. No tweaking what so ever. It was hearty and yummy and screaming with flavor.

  Lentils too tough

  Rated: 4 stars out of 5

  Does anyone think that the lentils are too tough...maybe they should soak overnight before they go into the stew...otherwise good flavor

  with a few tweaks...

  Rated: 3 stars out of 5

  with just a few tweaks, this could be a much better recipe... of course, the adjusted meat to bean ratio as noted above, but then I'd saute the aromatics first in a little olive oil and set aside, then slightly brown the meat in the same pan and set aside, then deglaze the pan with the vinegar (or a little red wine), then add it all to the pot and continue with the recipe.

  is very good

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  Well we made this for a while now. The only thing is we increased the amount of meat to 1 1/2 pounds of Beef, or 2 pounds of lamb. and omited the parsley. we also made this recipe using venison. It is one of our favorite stews now.

  Really good if you up the lamb content

  Rated: 4 stars out of 5

  I made this and used 2 lbs of lamb since only 1/2 lb seemed like way too little for a meal of this size. It was really good! I had only put in half the lentils (based on the comments I saw here) but my husband threw the rest of them into the crock pot after I left. No matter -- it was very tasty!

  Nice change for lentil stew/soup

  Rated: 4 stars out of 5

  I make lentil soup a lot with ham, but this was a nice change of pace. I agree, though, that too many lentils. I saw her make this on tv and I swear she only used one cup. That's what I used (half a bag of lentils). It's much better. I used two lamb chops (or about a pound of lamb) and cut them up. I also didn't have rosemary so instead I just used Herbs de Provence (3 tsp) and cut out the Thyme. Perfect.

  Give me a break

  Rated: 1 stars out of 5

  I have tried two of Robin Miller's recipes now and both of them were obviously not tested properly or whoever entered them into the website messed up the proportions. C'mon now folks, using a whole POUND of dried lentils with a meager 1/2 pound of meat? And yes, it would have been nice if the feta cheese (wasn't sure what that was) on the picture were included as part of the recipe. I am definately not going to use Robin's recipes any more. Tyler and Rachaels recipes have been infinitely better, that's for sure. Yuck to Robin's recipe

  Not too bad....

  Rated: 4 stars out of 5

  I think this stew is great. I did how ever have to bump up the flavor of it because it a little bland. All I did was put some seasoned salt, chicken boullon granuals and cilontro in it. Also I would double the lamb, if not a little more than double. This recipe makes alot, so if you don't plenty of mouths to feed, you'll have leftovers.

  too much liquid, too little lamb

  Rated: 3 stars out of 5

  I thought the flavors were decent but some ingredients were out of proportion as others have mentioned. I used 4 cups chicken stock, which was more than enough. I also rounded up to about 2/3 lbs lamb, which was barely enough to feel balanced. I'd also cut down the amount of tomatoes as that seemed too dominant (and also added even more liquid), but that may be my personal preference.

  Amounts need to be recalculated

  Rated: 1 stars out of 5

  I accidentally bought 1 and 1/2 lbs. of meat rather than the 1/2 lb. listed. I used half (3/4 lb.) of it in the stew. After the first serving, I boiled up the rest and added it. Otherwise the proportions were just ridiculous, unless it was labeled as a lentil stew with just a bit of lamb flavoring. Also, it is shown topped with feta but the recipe doesn't mention that -- it might've helped to bump up the flavor. And lastly, four servings? For what four people -- sumo wrestlers? Since this is from the "Slow it down" episode, may I suggest Robin slow down and rework the numbers and ingredients for this. The concept is good - folks who adjusted the recipe for leftovers and lamb chops were happy, but those of us who actually followed the directions, were sorely misled.

  Worst thing I've ever tried making

  Rated: 1 stars out of 5

  I saw this on the show and thought, "we love lamb and we love lentils, this will be great!" Well, it was terrible. The taste was bland and dull and not appealing at all. We ended up throwing it out and eating sandwiches which is ashame because lamb is not cheap. Way too many lentils and not enough flavor.

  Easy great together

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  I know now after trying hundreds of your recipes from everyone (Rachael, mostly-she got me started, hooked and addicted - by the ingredients alone I know what the outcome will be..then comes the put it all together and finally taste. What's most important to me are the ingredients because my husband has lung cancer and nutrition is critical. Thanks to the Food Network, I've become the greatest cook. Well, really thanks to my girlfriend Rachael Ray. She's been my inspiration and savior for almost 2 years.

  More of a lentil side dish. . .

  Rated: 3 stars out of 5

  This has a good foundation in flavor, but the volume of lentils was way too overwhelming. It would have been a better described as a lentil side dish rather than a stew. Next time I will half the lentils and double (or maybe even triple) the lamb. Also, a dash of paprika adds a nice finish.

  So easy

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  I made this with some leftover boneless leg of lamb pieces; I didn't bother with the slow cooker and instead just threw everything together in a pot and boiled it for an hour and a half. Tasty!

  Where's the lamb?

  Rated: 4 stars out of 5

  Great stew! Easy and my family loved it. It needs more lamb though. I will double the lamb next time.
