Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    Dried thyme worked fine here. The lentils were pretty good, but the tomatoes were too prominent for my taste (I know the title is lentils *and* tomatoes) and the dish was rather soupy. The tomatoes were fairly sweet; extra vinegar might help. This would probably be better with some sausage added.

    I made this while a friend stayed with my family for a few days. We all loved this dish! In fact, we couldn’t stop eating it. As much as I love to cook, sometimes I get tired of cookbooks and magazines being full of complicated, multi-step recipes with long lists of ingredients. This is one of those old-fashioned, homey pots of yumminess that tastes like it was invented by someone’s mother the day before pay day. So good!

    This is so good. I usually don't love carrots but the large amount here, with the curry powder, lentils and tomatoes, they are so perfect. My kids loved this, too.

    Delicious! We loved the spice combination of curry and thyme. I used hot curry instead of mild and added 15-20 mins to the cooking time. Served over brown rice.
