If you're not a fan of the bbq/baked bean taste but still want to try lentils, I definitely recommend trying them in a Mexican-inspired dish.
BBQ-Baked Lentils
- 1/2 lb. lentils
- 4 c. beef stock or water
- 2 T. olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 stalks celery, diced
- 2 carrots, peeled and diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 1/2 c. barbecue sauce, bottled or homemade (recipe below)
2. While lentils cook, heat olive oil in a small skillet. Add onion, celery, carrots and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until veggies are crisp-tender, about 5 minutes.
3. In a casserole dish, combine lentils, vegetables and barbecue sauce. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Serve as is for a side dish or over brown rice.
Homemade Barbecue Sauce
- 1 1/4 c. ketchup or 1 c. tomato sauce, 2 T. vinegar and 2 T. Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 c. brown sugar
- 2 T. Worcestershire sauce
- 2 T. honey
- 2 t. garlic powder
- 2 T. Tabasco sauce
- 1 t. cumin
- 1 t. salt
- 1/2 t. crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/2 t. allspice

I've had a bag of lentils in my freezer forever--now I know what I can make with them! Thanks!
This looks very good. I'm hesitant using lentils because of bad experiments with them. Not everyone here likes them. But I shall try this recipe out.
Thanks. Marlyn
Lentils sound great! I haven't had them in awhile...I just forget about them sometimes! Thanks for sharing!
I made these for lunch today - along with the bbq sauce - yum! I put mine in a tortilla w/ a little rice, lettuce and cheese. A delicious lunch - thanks!
