Quite tasty! With the texture and flavor, it's almost like shredded pineapple chicken. I added a 20oz can of pineapple since I have a bit of a sweet tooth, and I'm glad I did. I also simmered for about 35 minutes, rather than 45. Any more would have been too much. Will try adding the chile powder... a bit of extra "zest" might be nice -
I used fresh pineapple and this was not quite as sweet as the reviews had said (next time, I will follow the ingredients!). -
Any excuse to eat pineapple is enough to get me coooking. This recipe was easy to follow and tasted great. I served this to friends and they loved it. -
I really enjoyed this recipe. Our friend also thought it was great. My husband wasn't so sure. He thought it was strange with the pineapple, but he is strange himself! I thought the pineapple gave it some zing. -
These Lentils were so yummy! My daughter wasn't sure about the pineapple, but she loved them and wants them again. I like to sprinkle mine with hot chili powder. Thanks for a great recipe!
