I'm not a big fan of lentils, but I might try this recipe with chickpeas instead.

Not bad, but not amazing. The flavors were a bit bland for my taste, even after adding extra spices. The texture was also a bit mushy. I think I'll try a different lentil pilaf recipe next time.

Easy to make and delicious! I used brown lentils instead of green lentils and it turned out great. The pilaf was flavorful and filling, and the leftovers were even better the next day. Will definitely be making this again!
