Thank you so much for sharing! This was reall...Wow! Thank you so much for sharing! This was really good (my family gobbled it up), but I did make a few changes because it seemed like more work than was necessary. I'm a lazy bum of a woman so I am always looking for a way out of work. ;) <br /><br />Unlike beans, lentils do not require soaking before cooking, so I skipped that. I just sorted and rinsed them and stirred them in there.<br /><br />Also, I didn't braise the meat nor saute the onions and garlic so I eliminated the olive oil.<br /><br />They didn't have any lamb shoulder or steaks. Can you imagine? So I went with a seasoned leg.<br /><br />I put all the seasonings, broth, tomatoes and vegetables in there and stirred it up good. I then stirred in the lentils and put the leg (I didn't cube it) on top which helped keep the lentils submerged. I covered and cooked it for longer than expected. My mother had surgery today (hence the slow cooker recipe) and I got home later than I anticipated. <br /><br />Anyway, I will admit that we were all so hungry, that I served it right up. After dinner was over, I realized the mistake I had made. I forgot to add the lemon, spinach and cheese!<br /><br />We had a lot left, so not to worry, we added the rest when it was reheated and you know what? It tasted like it was freshly cooked! <br /><br />In fact, the elimination of spinach and lemon was fine. My family all informed me that it needed to be made again, before they knew anything was missing! There was no flavor loss, but just the nutritional loss.<br /><br />I picked feta cheese. I don't know, lamb and sheep's milk... it just sounded like a good mix to me. ;)<br /><br />Again, thank you so much for sharing! My family thanks you too.Magnolia Southhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05027695915193365483noreply@blogger.com
