I know that any time I cook beans in the crockpot, the directions always say to do them on high, so I suspect that may have been the problem. I know that lentils traditionally have a much shorter cooking time than beans, but perhaps doing them on low in a crockpot doesn't work. That's my guess. Glad you liked it in spite of the crunchy lentils!Anne Marie@Married to the Empirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16600919522369171555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9147208685448049005.post-23347155033260975112010-09-22T14:01:15.009-05:002010-09-22T14:01:15.009-05:00I finally made this last night and it was DELICIOU...I finally made this last night and it was DELICIOUS! However, I cooked it on low for 8 hours and then another 1/2 hour on high. The lentils were still crunchy. Are they supposed to be crunchy? It was still good, though, and I served it nacho-style over tortilla chips.Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06216567752678925641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9147208685448049005.post-73982046085527321872010-08-31T08:00:11.350-05:002010-08-31T08:00:11.350-05:00Looks yummy!
