wow, that looks yummy. It really only takes 10 minutes? How do i make this if i don’t have a crock pot?
Yes… the prep was just 10 minutes.. I suppose you can make your lentils as normally suggested on pagage in a pot and add all ingredients that way.. and maybe leave over nite in fridge to marinate a bit for flavors to marry..? Crockpots are very inexpensive and a great addition to the kitchen.. this particular recipe was less than $15 total and fed 2 for at least 3 meals. Create a great day !
