    Had to substitute some of the ingredients as I didn't have them all to hand, black beans instead of Borlotti, margarine instead of suet, for example. Tasted good. Will make it again.

    I had virtually no liquid left after cooking the lentils so had to guess how much to add to the mix. Must have guessed right because it turned out delicious. I also used chopped hazelnuts for a bit of texture. Could someone perhaps add how much fluid there should be left from cooking the lentils…
