7 Reviews of Mediterranean Lentils

These were GREAT! I used a 6oz bag of baby spinach and 3T of fresh minced mint. I added the lemon juice at the end. This had a tea infused flavor which was very refreshing. My husband enjoyed it cold the next day too. Made for NAME Tag. *I forgot to say that I only use about 2T of oil and then drizzled some on top.

    So simple yet so tasty. I used frozen spinach, and omitted the oil and it turned out fine. I halved the recipe and used it as a topping for jacket potatoes. That way it was the perfect amount for two people.

    I used only 1/2 the spinach leaves as that is all I had on hand. I was a bit sceptical about this one due to the very few and simple ingredients but I was pleasently surprised. Although the rest of my family wasnt in love with these, I certainly was! Thanks for sharing...I could sit down to a big bowl of these on their own for lunch...YUM! Reviewed for PAC Fall 2007

    This is a good basic recipe for lentils. The mint really adds to the flavor. I served it with feta cheese, olives and Carrot and Raisin Salad---Moroccan Style. The feta really set this recipe apart.

    I added minced garlic to the cooking lentils. I didn`t have much water left after the lentils were tender, at this point I added 5 ounces of baby spinach, 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1/2 cup fresh mint. Lots of pepper and a touch of salt. I can see a grilled salmon resting on this. Thanks!

    Better if you have a more adventurous palate... I enjoyed it quite a bit paired with Garlic naan, but my boyfriend found the mint too overwhelming, even though I only used 1 tbsp of dried. Looking at the serving I thought I'd need some sort of entree to be satiated, but with the bread added it was quite filling.

    Recipe was good, but I'd cut the mint down or use the same amount of fresh. The dish had an air of chamomile to me, and I wasn't a huge fan. The lentils and spinach together were great though!
