It is not exactly the same as the Woolies one, but has most of the ingredients (apart from the green beans). www.paarman.co.za/recipe_search/lentil_and_tomato_stew Regards, Hi Leigh-Anne,

I just love that tips and recipes passed down the generations live on. Enjoy the meatballs and have a delicious evening G Hi Gill, washing removes the excess starch which can cause it to be a bit sticky and the end result of using less water is a steaming effect which should plump them up a bit, but who am I to question Mom, they do know most things after all and if it works for you thats fantastic.

It's a firm cheese and quite rubbery but wonderful as is in salads. Just mix in some chopped up haloumi with your lentils before you serve and it will be fabulous. So great to hear you are enjoying... this is why I keep doing it, Thanks you and happy days G Hi leigh-Anne, I don’t really cook much with lentils but here are a few resources to start

I always cook rice like my mother taught me, in lots of water and then drain and steam, no washing. I have tried both ways and to me they taste the same? BTW going out now to buy mince for the burger and meatball recipes! I'm 70+ but always ready to try a new one!

Lentils in a tomato and onion sauce with baby spinach, green beans and topped with haloumi cheese. Also how do I prepare and serve haloumi cheese. I am loving all the recipes I have tried so far, all made in the slow cooker last week I made your oxtail and there was not a morsel left, my son still soaked the last of the gravy up in a french loaf. And oh boy does he have an appetite. Hi Graham,
