I did this in the slow cooker- the opposite to pressure cooking really- but it was delicious and easy, a recipe I will come back to. Thanks - 12 Dec 2012 (Review from Allrecipes UK & Ireland)
It seems to me you should be able to make this on the stove top in a normal pan. Lentils cook up rather quickly there really isn't a reason to use a pressure cooker. Unless the lentils in the UK are different than the ones here in the US. I haven't tried the recipe yet. I plan on doing so very soon. Will update my rating at that time. - 12 Apr 2014 (Review from Allrecipes UK & Ireland)
This was nice. I did it in the slow cooker as well. I cooked for about 7.5 hours the first half on high and then turned downed to low. I added a tin of chopped tomatoes and would put some garlic in if I make again. - 23 Feb 2014 (Review from Allrecipes UK & Ireland)
