Honey Baked Lentils
1 cup lentils
2 cups water (I would increase this to 3 or 4 cups)
2 tbsp honey
2 tbsp soysauce or tamari
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp ginger
1 clove garlic
1 small onion
salt & pepper to taste
Combine in a 2.5 qt casserole dish.
Bake in a covered dish at 350 until tender (about an hour and a half).
The recipe also says, "You could also substitute 1/3 cup of rice or barley for some of the lentils; oh, and add whatever "winter" vegetables you have on hand. When I made it last night, I used carrots and potatoes. It was delicious. Squash would be a great addition, too, I bet. We ate this as a stew over brown rice, but it would also be yummy over quinoa, or on some flatbread (lentils on toast? on a bagel, lol?) We eat it as the main dish, but it would be a great side dish as well."
Lentils are a superfood and extremely healthy for you. I would love to find some other ways of using them.
