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.

    Left out the mustard, and used pepperoncinis for the pickled peppers. Husband loved it. If your stomach is sensitive to very acidic foods (like mine), skip this one!

    Great recipe - I agree that it was a bit soupy than I preferred, so starting with less water is a good idea (always easier to add than take away, right?) I couldn't find pickled peppers, so I used a fresh red bell pepper and a few pickled jalapenos and their juice. Was a bit spicy for my kids, but I LOVED it. Even if they won't eat it, I plan on making big pots of it for my lunches during the week. Served with both potato buns and naan bread - you really can't go wrong.

    I cooked these for longer than directed and they were still soupy, but I was hungry and out of patience. I'd maybe try just adding less water next time. They were pretty tasty!

    I preferred the Cool Beans version but my partner preferred the pickle elements of this recipe.

    Excellent, flavorful lentil dish. I used a mix of pickled peppers, some were a bit sweet so I omitted the sugar. I'd happily eat this with rice and steamed veg as an alternate to having on a bun.
