The judges loved this great tasting, time saving meal which was entered by bite.co.nz member Belinda441 in our recent reader recipe competition to win an 8L fa*gor Duo pressure cooker. The Bite team made it up and photographed it for you all – it is much too good not to share. While the lentils in Belinda's recipe here were cooked in 9 minutes, the judges noted that ours were cooked beautifully in 20 minutes.
