I'm looking for the recipe for the barbecue lentils that were featured in the very first Biggest Loser book (the one with the picture of Bob on the front). They were amazing. I stupidly threw my book away a couple of years ago thinking I'd never use it again. And guess what...

    BBQ Lentils
    Posted in Sangria

    BBQ Lentils SERVES 6
    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]

    Ingredients for BBQ Lentils:
    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 mustard
    2 tablespoons honey
    1 1/2 cups dried brown lentils, rinsed
    salt, to taste
    fresh ground pepper, to taste
    Preparation of BBQ Lentils:
    Heat oil in 2 qt pan on med heat.
    Add onion and cook 3 minutes or until softened.
    Add garlic, chili powder and mustard powder; cook 1 minute or until fragrant.
    Do not brown the garlic.
    add broth, sauce, vinegar, mustard, honey, and lentils; stir well and bring to boil.
