Thanks so much for the great question. You can reduce the amount of liquid when cooking the lentils slightly. The best way is once the lentils are cooked, drain them in a mesh sieve (see recipe card) to get rid of any excess water and give them a bit of a mash. Hope this helps. So glad you a least enjoyed the taste of the lentil tourtiere.

I think you are looking at the section in the post talking about the history of the tourtiere. The spice BLEND is the key, and there are numerous combinations. I did not use allspice in my blend, but please feel free to add some. It is very strong, so go lightly.

HAHAHA….yup I will not be visiting Costco until the New Year!!

ENJOY I am sure you will love how this turns out.

You are welcome. ENJOY and happy holidays.

Enjoy, this is a hearty and delicious recipe.

The perfect recipe for that bag of lentils. ENJOY!

I hope your family enjoys this as much as we do.

What a lovely idea to use red lentil. I usually cook it in stews and soups but this is a really great dinner option that my family would like. I saved this and will give it a try. Looks delicious.
