Herb and citrus exist in perfect balance in this protein-packed stew flavored with dill and lemon. Serve with slices of whole-grain baguette and a green salad.

READER'S COMMENT:

"Very yummy and filling. The brown lentils take a good while to get soft (seemed about 45 minutes) so you will need to check and add more chicken broth (but then that adds sodium). But the flavors together were great. "

Great Flavoring and very filling!

My husband and I liked this recipe very much. I am a huge lentil soup fan and wanted something different and perhaps healthier than the one I usually use. I ended up doubling the recipe but keeping the spinach the same so I could use up more lentils and chicken. I also added celery and onions for more flavor. I'm glad I didn't buy extra spinach because otherwise it would have been way too much. The coriander, dill and lemon definitely gives it a kick! All in all, excellent recipe!

This stew is very flavorful but, if you don't LOVE garlic, then be sure to adjust the amount according to your taste. I halved the amount and still thought it was a bit garlic-y. The lemon and the mint add some depth and I ended up adding a little more coriander at the end. Also, add the spinach according to the amount of stew- 6 oz seemed a bit too much. Otherwise, it is a very easy (and healthy) recipe and I think the flavors may meld after a day.
