Back to TopI thought the base for this was fantastic. However, confession, I did not make it to the recipe specifications. In a dutch oven pot I sautéed 1 tab butter, one yellow onion, 4 cloves garlic, pepper, cardamon, thyme, basil, oregano, paprika, turmeric and cayenne pepper. Then I set that aside and in the same pot I added the water and did the recipe per instructions with lentils, bay leaf and the bulgur (I did reduce the time I simmered the lentils by just a few minutes to avoid overcooking them since I was concerned about getting a gummy dish as some reviewers complained about). After everything was done cooking I added back the onion/garlic spiced mixture and fluffed everything up, added some low sodium soy sauce and it was amazing. The texture I got was kinda of like couscous, not gummy at all. Will definitely make this again.

I wasn't a big fan of this dish. The texture and appearance were both unappealing, and there was something off about the flavors. I added a few other spices, but that didn't help much. Definitely would not make this again, and probably will end up throwing out the leftovers.

Not great. The texture was not ideal. And the spices really didn't meld into the other ingredients. Made it with the recommended chicken dish and used the pan juices from the chicken as suggested.

我认为这道菜的纹理可以极大地我mproved by using more lentils and less bulgur. Half and half perhaps.

Gummy. I did exactly what the recipe said and got a gluey mass of well-formed lentils and bulgur. The seasonings were OK, but the texture was undesirable.

Mmmmm, that was great! I made some adjustments due to my circumstances (I halved the recipe and added some chopped flat leaf parsley and blanched'n'diced tomatoes at the very end). It came out delicious. Next time I will make the full portion, and I am sure it'll be gone quickly:) Great flavour in this dish.

A really nice dish, and a good accompaniment for the Chicken with caramelised onions, too. Easy, and very tasty as leftovers. A keeper.
