    Nice enough, a little bit bland, would add some tomato puree next time and probably some more garlic too.

    Really good - I used two tins of tomatoes to one tin of lentils (800g and 400g respectively). If I made it again I would add more veg with the onion - maybe some celery and carrot. Recipe doesn't say where to add the worstershire sauce so I added it in with the tomato.

    This is fantastic, I added mushrooms, then fresh basil at the end.
