I'm not sure what went wrong, but my Kusherie turned out really bland. I think I might have used the wrong kind of lentils.

I served Kusherie with a side of tahini sauce. It was the perfect complement to the dish.

I'm a vegetarian, so I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. The dish turned out great!

I'm allergic to garlic, so I had to omit it from the recipe. The dish was still delicious, but I think it would have been even better with garlic.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my Kusherie didn't turn out as good as I hoped. I think I might have overcooked the lentils.
