I have made this recipe about 30 times since last year, so I figure it's about time I rate it! I love this so much - as the previous reviewer said it is so easy to add whatever vegetables you have lying around... the spices, the lentils, and the booze are really what make the dish. I usually use a darker red wine or port instead of sherry, and quite a bit more (but i love cooking with alcohol), and I also add a bit of cream at the end of the cooking time to make it a little bit heartier for the wintertime. But it is lovely just as written. Thank you for this recipe - I never would have thought to introduce these spices!

Thank you so much for this!!! I was wondering what to do with those lentils in my cupboard, and this i think was the most delicious solution. And so easy!! (really, i'm a college student and i made it!). I didn't use sherry because i don't touch alcohol, and it still tasted great. Also i didn't have marjoram, so i threw in some tumeric and a little cayenne to make it more exciting. I also used 2 cups of stock like the other person. came out a good consistency though. yum.

Really good recipe. I did add a bit of liquid smoke and tabasco though and still found it a bid bland....so I added some more hot sauce after it was cooked. Served over rice it made a terrific meal with lots of "planed overs".
