    Quick and easy with good flavours. The only problem I had was that the sausages kept on sticking to the bottom of the instant pot when I was trying to brown them. But that didn’t impact too much on the recipe. Overall, a quick and easy dinner resulting in a comforting meal.

    My husband liked this more than I did. I thought it could have used more flavor.

    This is good - two of us ate everything. Used 3 sausages; Needs more seasoning - salt, pepper, garlic - play with it. Tried with Polish sausage - YUM. Maybe fry a slice of bacon and brown sausages in that.

    This had a pretty high (and favorable) work to taste ratio. I cooked this in advance because of work deadlines and it held up well. Based on comments here, I cooked the lentils for 9 minutes. I also didn't bother with the rack for the sausages- I just laid them on top. I used mild sausages but would go for spicy ones next time. The heat from my paprika (using the hot kind) was negligible.

    I really liked this dish! I subbed French lentils for green (which I would do again) and my only critique would be to try cooking a bit less next time - maybe 9 minutes instead of 11. Lentils had great flavor though even if a bit softer than I prefer. Used Whole Foods sausage and liked it. Served w simple green salad.

    We really liked this. I used soy chorizo rather than meat sausages, and sliced them into coins before browning. I also added a generous dollop of TJ's umami paste with the onions and garlic. I then just mixed the sausage coins back in with the raw lentils and cooked the whole thing together. This is a really nice comfort-food dish, and was very good over mashed potatoes as a winter dinner. I would make it again!

    Easy enough, and pretty good. Not stunning. Lentils a bit crispy, but that's probably how they're meant to be, as they are green lentils. Cook a little longer than specified if you want softer ones.
