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.
