Guest guest Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 This doesn't seem like enough liquid to cook a pound and a half of lentils and end up with a sauce. Is there something missing? Can you clarify this recipe for me, Carol? Thanks!

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 Hi Denise Sorry, when i make it I have 4 cups of veggie stock handy and if i need it I add as I go.
