Honey Baked Lentils
Ingredients:
- 1/2 pound dried Lentils
- 1 1/4 cups Water
- 1 1/4 cups Low Sodium, Organic Chicken Stock (can use all water to make this vegan, just add a bit of salt)
- 1 Bay Leaf
- 1/2 Yellow Onion, diced
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 1 stalk Celery, chopped
- 1 Carrot, chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon Ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon Dried Mustard
- 1/2 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Bragg Liquid Aminos
- 2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1/4 cup Agave Nectar (I didn't have any honey)
- 1/4 cup Orange Juice
Place Lentils, Water, Stock, and Bay Leaf in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer 30 minutes.
Once Lentils are cooked remove the Bay Leaf.
In a bowl, combine remaining ingredients.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Pour cooked Lentils into a glass loaf pan.
Pour remaining ingredients on top of the Lentils and stir to combine.
Cover pan with foil.
Bake, tightly covered, at 350 degrees for 1 hour.
We enjoyed our Honey Baked Lentils over brown rice and steamed broccoli and spinach. I plan on eating the leftovers in a salad today! (SUPER EXCITED!)
In other news:
Dickens is being a little dickens lately!
He will not listen lately. Maybe he is getting too comfortable. Today, GF Guy and I both work 10 hour days. We are taking him to Tita's house so he won't be alone all day. We'll see how he does, and how she does! Tita loves to spoil dogs with Cuban Crackers and Pup-peroni. As you know, Dickens is on a completely Gluten Free diet. Crackers and Pup-peroni are not on his meal plan! Here's hoping they both survive! :-)Also, this is how my morning started...
1) Make coffee.
2) Pour coffee.
3) Decide to make my coffee extra special.
4) Remember the unsweetened Chocolate Almond Milk in the frige.
5) Open frige, shake Almond Milk.
6) Discover Almond Milk lid was not shut properly...
7) CRUD.....
8) .................
9) Drink mocha coffee.

ReplyDeleteI made your chicken in a pot no pie..and it was delicious! If you could somehow categorize your recipes that would be great. I had to scroll through many post to try to go back and find it! If this exists on the blog already, please let me know!

ReplyDeleteGreat looking dish and you just want to hug Dickens...sorry he has a mind of his own..lol!
ReplyDeleteSounds good to me...especially since there isn't actually any honey in it! I don't have any agave at the moment though. One of these days :)
ReplyDeleteAW ! SORRY about the almond milk spill!!!!
ReplyDeletethe lentil dish sounds and looks awesome!!! Thanks for the recipe, Katrina!!!!!!!!!!! :)
This looks really good to me right now, especially with the broccoli. My family doesn't like lentils too much, but I serve them occasionally anyway. I've never made them with a sweetener--that might make a difference. I'll have to try this and see what they think. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYum. I'm sending this to my son. He's a vegetarian so he'll use veggie stock but he lives on lentils. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI saw your post on Zesty Cook today - congrats!!
ReplyDeleteYour lentils look great, too. We love lentils. I've always made them savory but sweet sounds great too. I posted a fabulous green lentil recipe a while ago - they made fabulous left overs. Hope yours are just as good.
I am loving your new approach to the blog!!
ReplyDeleteMmm this recipe sounds fantastic!

Your lentils look yummy. I need to make more lentils! They're so good leftover for my lunch too.
ReplyDeleteMy doggies are on a gluten-free diet as well! Have been ever since I adopted them. It started when I had a cat that was sickly until I stopped buying the cheap-o cat food and started looking at the better brands and comparing ingredient lists...the good stuff, the stuff that makes the cat (and now dogs) feel better is the stuff that has meat as the first ingredient, and no wheat! So, gluten-free pet food, it was. And this was even way before I went gluten-free, lol!
I've never cooked lentils before but this dish looks really good, I'll have to give it a try.
ReplyDeleteThis looks great. I'm going to make it next week when my son is home for Spring Break. He lives on lentils being a vegetarian. Thank you for sharing this on Friday Foodie Fix.
