STOVE TOP BARBECUE LENTILS
I found this recipe on prevention.com, 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.

I love lentils for their versatility. Found this recipe in an old Cooking Light magazine and was taken by this unconventional treatment. Though I have not tried this one, I'm making it public now for all my Zaar buddies. Will update after trying it out.

BBQ LENTILS
From the Harrisburg Patriot Food section for Dec 14. No promises because I am putting it here for me also From the Biggest Loser Cookbook by Rodale Added: July 15th. I tried this. The brown lentils seem to take forever as the reviewers said. I would suggest trying a faster lentil. Red might be much easier in this recipe but watch it carefully when you do. French took ages. No all Lentils are not created equal [grin]

Tips:
- Choose the right lentils. For this recipe, small, dark lentils, such as black beluga or French green lentils, hold their shape best. Avoid red or yellow lentils, as they tend to break down more easily.
- Rinse the lentils thoroughly before cooking. This will help to remove any dirt or debris.
- Use a large pot. Lentils expand as they cook, so it's important to use a pot that is large enough to accommodate them.
- Don't overcrowd the pot. If you overcrowd the pot, the lentils won't cook evenly.
- Bring the lentils to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. This will help to prevent the lentils from boiling over.
- Simmer the lentils for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender. Lentils are done cooking when they are soft and tender, but still hold their shape.
- Add the barbecue sauce, brown sugar, and vinegar during the last 5 minutes of cooking. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve the lentils with your favorite sides. Lentils are delicious served with rice, potatoes, or vegetables.
Conclusion:
Stove-top barbecue lentils are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The lentils are packed with protein and fiber, and the barbecue sauce gives them a smoky, tangy flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
