Honey Baked Lentils

Submitted by: CHESSAKAT

Introduction

Try this delicious and easy recipe for lentils! Try this delicious and easy recipe for lentils!
Number of Servings: 4

Ingredients

    1 cup lentils
    2 cups water
    2 tbsp honey (or maple syrup, agave nectar, etc)
    2 tbsp soy sauce (or Bragg's, tamari, shoyu, etc)
    2 tbsp olive oil
    1/2 tsp ginger root, grated
    1 clove garlic, minced
    1 small onion, chopped
    salt & pepper

Directions

Combine all ingredients in a covered dish. Bake in a covered dish at 350 until tender (about an hour and a half).

Alternatively, you can cook this on the stovetop for about 40 minutes in a saucepan (until the lentils are tender).
-------------------
This is great served over rice, quinoa or couscous.

You can also use red lentils, which has more of a soup-like consistency. Equally delicious. Experiment!

    Excellent recipe.
    I have done this recipe as well in the crock pot. 4-5 hours on low does the trick.

    Made 2 small changes when making this. We used powdered dry ginger, and shallots instead of onion.

    I love and crave this recipe! - 7/26/10

    I really enjoyed lentils made this way. I added one medium sweet potato and a large carrot, as well as took MEGGO27's advice and added cayenne. I served it over brown basmati rice seasoned with cumin, curry and lemon juice. YUM! Thanks. - 12/21/08

    this was AMAZING!!! Lentils are our "new food of the month" and this was the perfect recipe to start. Didn't have ginger, added a splash of cinnamon and some chicken too. Husband and I ate the whole thing! Definitely adding it to our regular meals! - 1/5/13

    Loved this. I have never had lentils like this before. Usually, I make them bland or spicy. This was just the right amount of sweet. I used the maple syrup. Will definitely make again and it will be one of my go-to, freeze-for-lunches meals. Thanks for sharing! - 6/13/12

    This was sooo good! I doubled the garlic (big garlic lovers in this house) substituted 1 tbsp of maple syrup for 1 tbsp of honey, added a pinch of red pepper flakes and added some cornstarch near the end to thicken it up. I will definitely be making this again, I will try the slow cooker next time - 1/30/12

    Thank you Bubbletoes, for the baked bean comparison. You sold me on it. I also added paprika, chili flakes and a tiny bit of ketchup. Tasted like baked beans with a kick, but without the sauce. Lentils are my new friend! - 7/16/11
