“Delicious “gumbo”! Took 3 stores for me to find green lentils but I persevered and glad I did. Made pretty much as written but without the ham but increased the andouille and chicken those missing ounces. No salt broth. Did not add optional cayenne as my sausa” — a cook, 5★
“The only - and I mean only - thing I changed was omitting the okra. Didn’t have and wasn’t going to make a special trip to the store. Everything else I did as written. This was very flavorful! Me personally; I love lentils. Some family members could take them ” — a cook, 4★
