1/2 the recipe is hearty, healthy and delicious meal for 4 when served on some grainy rolls with a salad. It has a similar flavour to baked beans, cooks quicker, and is a winner with veggies and omnis alike! If starting with canned, pre-cooked lentils, you will need approximately 6 cups of them, reserve 1 cup of the canning liquid and proceed with the recipe! Read more ! If you don't like lentils (I go through phases myself) 6 cups of cooked black-eyed peas are great in this dish as well! I like ED Smith's sugar-free syrup for this, but use your favourite or the real thing if you have no sugar issues. Ingredients:
3 1/2 cups water |
2 cups dried brown lentils |
2/3 cup diced onion |
2/3 cup sugar-free ketchup (or 1/2 cup tomato paste + 2 tbsp water) |
1/3 cup sugar-free maple syrup |
1/4 cup prepared yellow mustard |
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger |
1/2 teaspoon maple extract |
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. Combine water, and lentils in a large saucepan.
3. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer 20 minutes.
4. Drain lentils in a colander over a bowl, reserving 1 cup cooking liquid.
5. Combine lentils and diced onion in a deep, rectangular baking dish.
6. Combine the reserved cooking liquid, ketchup, and the remaining ingredients.
7. Pour the ketchup mixture over the lentil mixture, stirring to combine.
8. Bake at 350° for 1 hour.
9. Makes 8 3/4-cup (side dish) servings or 4 1 1/2 cup (main-dish) servings. NI is for side dish size servings!
