Spicy Root Vegetable & Lentil Casserole image

I am collecting recipes for my New Year venture back into a largely vegetarian diet. This looks like something my husband and myself will enjoy so I am sticking it here for safe keeping. I found it in the 2008 copy of the yearly 'Vegetarian Christmas' special put out by BBC Good Food Magazine. You can pick the heat of curry paste or powder that will suit your family.

This recipe is a waste of time and ingredients. The lentils never softened and the vegetables were mushy. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my casserole turned out nothing like the picture. The lentils were hard and the vegetables were raw. I had to throw the whole thing away.

This recipe was a disaster! The lentils were overcooked and mushy, the vegetables were burnt, and the sauce was watery and tasteless. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. The lentils were cooked well, but the vegetables were undercooked and the sauce was lacking in flavor. I would recommend adding more spices and herbs to the sauce.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The lentils were cooked perfectly and the vegetables were tender and flavorful. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper if you don't like spicy food.
