This recipe was quite easy. However, I used a combination of regular green lentils with red lentils (because that's what I had on hand. As expected the regular lentils retained their texture and the red "melted" into smoothness. The combination resulted in an interesting texture - especially with the pineapple added at the end.

the lentils in this recipe were completely overcooked. when i tried to stir them after simmering for 45 minutes, they mashed up into a paste. the taste was decent, but nothing amazing. i ended up adding the entire can of pineapple, just to get my kids to eat them, because i knew they'd be skeptical of anything with that consistency. even with cooking for less time, i wouldn't try this recipe again.
