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

     This was great! My husband thought it was beef when he came home! He really likes it! I will definitely make again! I used the maple syrup instead of the honey. - 5/11/09

     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

     I made these Honey Baked Lentils this morning. They're good but they're lacking in something. Next time, I'll use maple syrup instead of honey and add some curry powder to give it more of a kick. They're also a little dry so I was thinking a nice mango chutney & yogurt would complete the dish. - 3/8/20

     I might add a little less tamari sauce next time, but it was still superb! - 10/6/17

     Super simple to make and very tasty. I added 2 carrots diced and 1/2 cup of mung beans to bulk it up. Served with steamed cauliflower, yummy. - 5/10/17

     I made this using Trader Joe's steamed lentils and frozen chopped onion. Since the lentils were already cooked, I omitted the water and oil. I served it over elbow macaroni - it was delicious! - 12/12/13

     Comfort food! I also threw in some ham for a little down-home appeal. - 2/22/13

     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

     i opted for stove top due to the heat. Family really like the unique flavor. We will have this again. - 7/22/12
  • CD12400099
     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
