Use all your favorite baked bean ingredients–onion, ketchup, maple syrup, and mustard–but use lentils instead of kidney or pinto beans. The earthiness of the lentils is a good match for the smokiness of grilled meats. Ingredients:
3 cups water |
2 cups dried brown lentils |
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided |
1 cup diced onion |
2/3 cup ketchup |
1/3 cup maple syrup |
1/4 cup prepared mustard |
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. Combine water, lentils, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer 20 minutes. Drain lentils in a colander over a bowl, reserving 1 cup cooking liquid.
3. Combine lentils and diced onion in an 11 x 7-inch baking dish. Combine 1/4 teaspoon salt, reserved cooking liquid, ketchup, and the remaining ingredients. Pour the ketchup mixture over the lentil mixture, stirring to combine. Bake at 350° for 1 hour.
