I found this recipe on , it comes from Cheryl Forberg, the nutritionist from Biggest Loser. I haven't made it yet, but it is on my list to try. Lentils are great for budget stretching, and as they don't have to be pre-soaked you don't need to plan too far ahead. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1 cup red onion, chopped |
1 tablespoon garlic, minced |
2 teaspoons chili powder |
1 teaspoon mustard powder |
2 cups fat free chicken broth or 2 cups vegetable broth |
3/4 cup tomato sauce |
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar |
1 tablespoon dijon mustard |
2 tablespoons agave nectar or 2 tablespoons honey |
1 1/2 cups brown lentils, rinsed |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. Heat olive oil in a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 3 minutes.
2. Add garlic and spices and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute; do not brown garlic.
3. Add broth, tomato sauce, vinegar, mustard, agave nectar, and lentils, stir well, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until lentils are tender, but intact, about 30 minutes. Lentil cooking times vary. If necessary, add an additional 1/4 cup water and simmer for 5 minutes longer if lentils are not tender. Season with salt and pepper.
