Lentils Recipe

I love Lentils. I think they are delicious. I generally make Lentil Soup with Kielbasa. I mentioned on Twitter a few days ago that I had made that soup and a twitter friend of mine sent me a recipe that she uses to make lentils. It was totally different than anything I’d ever made. I even had my mom come over to give it a taste!

Here’s the recipe:

Savory Lentil Bake

Ingredients:

1 C. Lentils
2 C water
2 tbsp honey
2 tbsp soy sauce

1 small onion chopped

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Combine all the ingredients in a square baking dish

Cover and bake for 1 1/2 hours.

YUM. Super simple and super delicious! There is no liquid in this dish ~ so don’t be surprised. It’s not soup.

In case you’re wondering here’s my lentil soup recipe as well.
