This was so good! Beautifully spicy, a good balance between meatballs and lentils. The carmelized vegetables go with it really well. I cooked this on the stovetop because it was too hot to fire up the oven and it worked just fine. I added a splash of wine to the lentil liquid and I left the orange out of the vegetables (I would have liked it but other family members would not have.) I also used raisins rather than apricots (though we thought they would have been good as well.) This all went quite nicely with Simple Couscous and a spicy Australian shiraz. Thanks for posting!

I made this in half of the given amount and it worked beautifully. The meat balls are especially good and could be used in many ways other than just this one recipe. The Lentils, once again, are excellent in this dish but can be used as a stand alone or would be wonderful with lamb. The veggies were good but not my favorite part of the dish but I'm not a great fan of sweet veggies. DH thought that they were simply great and loved the sugar addition so there is a perfect example of personal taste at work. This is a very versatile and delightful recipe.

This recipe is certainly worth the effort. I have to admit that although I intended to do the vegetables as well, I didn't. I can therefore only judge the meatball and lentil bake. The leftovers were even better. Thank you for creating such a wonderful recipe.

Delicious! I ended up with an extra fennel bulb, for what it's worth! Thanks, French Tart! Made for Aussie / New Zealand Recipe Swap #20.

This is one of the best recipes i have come across for a long time and my other half said it was one of the best meals i have ever cooked for him! I didn't do the veg but i took out the apricots and added aubergine, corguette and mushrooms to the bake. Thanks it was delicious!

This is very subtle and special. Nicely put together, easy to follow directions, and a good balance of flavors.
