Guest guest Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 These turned out better than I expected. I added a tablespoon or two of a commerical BBQ sauce to give a smokiness to the lentils. Feel free to experiment to get the flavor you like. I served this with cornbread. Cheap meal. Barbecued Lentils 1 T. olive oil 1 cup chopped onion 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 tsp. chili powder 1 tsp. ground cumin 2 cups vegetable broth 1 8 oz. can tomato sauce 3 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar 1 T. brown mustard 2 T. honey 1 1/2 cups brown lentils, rinsed Salt and pepper to taste Heat olive oil in a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and spices and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute; do not brown garlic. Add broth, tomato sauce, vinegar, mustard, honey, and lentils, stir well, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until lentils are tender, but intact, about 30 minutes. Lentil cooking times vary. If necessary, add an additional 1/4 cup water and simmer for 5 minutes longer if lentils are not tender. Season with salt and pepper.
