    The Biggest Loser Cookbook-Milwaukee Journal/Sentinel

    Recipe Introduction


    I got this recipe from the Milwaukee Journal/Sentinel's cooking section. It has been adapted from "The Biggest Loser Cookbook." I imagine the cookbook's title refers to losing weight, not one's social ability.

    List of Ingredients




    1 tablespoon olive oil
    1 cup chopped red onion
    1 tablespoon minced garlic
    2 teaspoons chili powder
    1 teaspoon mustard powder
    2 cups vegetable broth
    3/4 cup tomato sauce
    3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
    1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard
    2 tablespoons honey (or other sweetener)
    1 1/2 cups dried brown lentils, rinsed and picked over
    Salt to taste
    Pepper to taste

    Recipe



    Preparation time: 10 minutes
    Cooking time: About 35 minutes

    Heat oil in 2-quart pan over medium heat. Add onion and cook 3 minutes or until softened. Add garlic, chili powder, and mustard powder; cook 1 minute(do not brown garlic). Add broth, tomato sauce, vinegar, mustard, honey, and lentils; stir well and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 30 minutes, until lentils are tender but intact (see note). Season with salt and pepper.
    Makes 6 servings.

    Note: Cooking times for lentils can vary. If necessary, add 1/4 cup water and simmer 5 minutes longer.
