This recipe was pretty good. I used chopped broccoli instead of green beans. My lid didn't seem to fit very well on the casserole dish I used; so I ended up adding some more vegetable broth when I added the broccoli. It did turn out good in the end. Definitely a nice, hearty meal for a cold rainy day!

This makes a delicious kid-friendly meal with very little prep. I made it exactly as the recipe indicated and it was wonderful - wholesome, a little "nutty" and filling. Add crusty bread and a salad for an easy week night dinner.

The recipe didn’t have any seasons listed, only veggie broth. I love lentils and I love to cook, I have like tons of seasonings in my cabinet. I added onions, green peppers, jalapeno pepper, cumin, turmeric, cinnamon, minced garlic, coriander. I sautéed my carrots & zucchini in turmeric, curry and cinnamon till they were tender. I had already baked the brown rice & lentils in the veggie broth onions and seasonings in the oven for an hour. Then added the zucchini, carrots and diced tomatoes. It's delicious and has a little color!
