Tasted fabulous, and only took 13 minutes. Thanks for the recipe though.

I am curious what you think of the idea of putting this in a slow cooker at, say 830am and then having it cook for 5 hrs on low then stay at the stay-warm setting til dinenrtime (around 6pm). maybe i would add an extra cup of broth? It's just for those of us who use the slow cooker as a work-day easy dinner, a 5 hr recipe doesn't work so well.Mimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07014004107996447592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090591139439935093.post-61326709260287849052011-10-24T07:53:06.838-07:002011-10-24T07:53:06.838-07:00I made this last week - it was SO good.

Have you ever tried Alton Brown's recipe for lentil COOKIES? They are good (and perfect for car travel).
