The fish was good and the lentils were good, but in my opinion the flavors of the two don’t go well together. Served them separately and it was ok.
Not my favorite flavor profiles and needs some more textures
We LOVED this recipe! It's so healthy, easy, and (most importantly) delicious. I never knew lentils could taste so good. We made this recipe again the very next week because it tasted so wholesome and comforting. That low calorie count is amazing too.
There was no way this was a sauce in the veggie version. It baked into a paste. Mixed together the flavors were amazing. The looks of it were very unappetizing.
The lentils were delicious but I was very much not a fan of the fish.
It was better than we expected, but looks unappetizing and is a bit blah. The sauce was great - glad I doubled it though, because everything else was quite dry.
