This is almost a good recipe, but didn't work for us.
- I made a half recipe, with halibut.
- The lentil with sweet potato bit was a bit bland.
- I cooked the fish under the broiler rather than sautéing it. No problem here.
- The sauce was really iffy, much too sharp. I have an idea there there is Dijon mustard and there is Dijon mustard. What I have is too strong to do in a 1:1 proportion with wine. On the other hand, it did liven up the lentils. (The rest will turn up as a salad dressing in the next days.)
I've made similar sorts of things that were much better, so probably won't try this again.

Nice tastes here. Easy and fast to make. I made a half recipe.
- The cabbage slaw was good enough to keep on its own. The bell pepper strips should be quite fine, I thought, to balance with the fine strips of cabbage. Some sesame seeds tossed in might be nice for a bit of crunch.
- Even though the chicken has been pounded thin, it should be turned once during the broiling time to ensure that it's cooked through. I basted liberally/frequently. Ed thought the sauce (essentially the same as that on the cabbage slaw) was a bit too strong.
Enjoyable dinner with rice.

Delicious and super easy.
I made a halfish recipe using chicken thighs rather than breasts. Cooked these about 30min (European thighs tend to be smaller than US ones), then did the potatoes and haricots verts another 20min. They could have been done a bit longer perhaps.
All delicious.
