I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pilaf came out dry and clumpy. I'm going to try again with a different recipe.

I followed the recipe exactly and the pilaf turned out mushy. I think next time I'll cook the lentils for a shorter amount of time.

This pilaf was easy to make and turned out great! I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and it was still very flavorful.
