*anj* Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Oh my goodness! I just found this recipe. I never got around to making it, but it was quite the popular dish on the old boards for awhile. I thought I'd resurrect it to see if a whole new breed of wtmers would like to give it a try! :001_smile: Honey Baked Lentils Serves 8 350 degrees for 1 hour Combine in a Dutch oven or saucepan: 1 lb lentils (2 1/3 C) 1 bay leaf 5 c water 2 tsp salt Boil, covered, for 30 minutes. Do not drain. Discard bay leaf. Preheat oven to 350. Combine and then mix into lentils: 1 tsp dry mustard 1/4 tsp powdered ginger 1 Tb soy sauce 1/2 c chopped onions (substitute 2 cloves garlic for picky eaters) 1 c water Cut in 1 inch pieces: 4 slices bacon Stir most of the bacon into the lentils. Pour the whole shebang into a lightly greased casserole dish. Sprinkle remaining bacon on top. Pour over all: 1/3 c honey Cover with lid. Bake 1 hour. Remove lid last 10 minutes to brown bacon. Serve it over rice and pass the soy sauce. You can put it in the crockpot for 3-4 hours on low instead of putting it into the casserole dish if you're so inclined. You can also substitute 1/2 pound of cooked ground beef or sausage for the bacon or serve it vegetarian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrothead Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 I love lentils. Unfortunately I'm the only one in the family that cares for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crissy Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 I always think of that recipe when I spy bags of lentils at the grocery store. But I still haven't made it. :001_huh: Nor have I baked up a batch of Jean's fabulous cinnamon rolls. I should get on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melissel Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Oh, I luuurve honey baked lentils, but lentils...well, they don't like me much. I make them anyway though! My recipe is slightly different, and I love adding in chunks of sweet potato and butternut squash. Hmmm...I might have to make that tomorrow now that the weather's turned.
