Hi Maria-I have a thing about saliva and it sounds like he has a lot of it in his mouth when he talks which just creeps me out! I think Gordon Ramsay calls him a “fat tongued git” because of the way he speaks.

I have to choose my mint in savoury foods- for example I can’t abide by minted peas!

I have ‘Jamie’s Italy’ but haven’t tried this recipe Lorraine. (Not too sure what you meant by “too much saliva” regarding Jamie.. does he have too much in his mouth when he talks or something)?

This looks like a great dish.. maybe served with soft polenta too if you’re starving?

I think I’d love these sausages but my girl is so anti-mint in savoury foods I’d be eating them on my own :/

Hi Y-Only a couple of weeks to go until Spring. Bring Spring on … please!

Hi SydneyGal-Ahhh ok, I thought starter as in the usual meaning. Sure, although I think this lentil and chorizo salad is easier for lentil virgins.

Lorraine - LOL, I meant “starter” as in the first dish to cook & eat with lentils in it. I want to try lentils and thought this looked pretty delish and not hard. Would you recommend it to a lentil virgin?

Looks like the perfect winter warmer

Hi Popeye-Thanks! It is deliciously rustic

Hi grace-LOL yes I just can’t fancy Jamie myself. He just doesn’t do it for me, although this dish does!

Hi SydneyGal-Yes it could be a good starter but I tend to have it as a main as it’s quite filling. I think you could use either with just as good results

I’ve never eaten or prepared lentils but I’ve been wanting to give them a try. Would you recommend this as a good starter dish? And if so, should I get the green lentils or the brown ones (the brown ones look yummy but perhaps one is a stronger lentil-y flavour?

I need guidance ….

that sauce sounds (and looks) amazing, mostly because you’ve incorporated cinnamon. what a beautiful dish, much more beautiful than jamie oliver himself.
