I love making big batches of this and putting some in the freezer.
Lentil Barbecue
Serves 62 c lentils, not cooked
1/2 c onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 large tomatoes
2 T brown sugar
2 T white wine vinegar
1/2 c ketchup
1 T Dijon mustard
2 T worsteshire sauce
1/4 t salt
1 t pepper
2 t paprika
Cook lentils in water. Drain.
Puree your tomatoes using a hand mixer or blender (it should be about 1 1/2 cups). Add in the remaining ingredients to your tomatoes and mix well. Add in cooked lentils. Taste and adjust salt and pepper if needed.
In an oven-safe dish, pour in the lentil barbecue. Bake at 350ยบ for 45 minutes or heat in a crock pot on low for 3-4 hours.
For me, lentil barbecue is best served on a bun with some greens and a little cheese. YUM!!!
Thanks so much for this recipe, Ashley! It's a perfect vegetarian Sloppy Joe and definitely a keeper. Tonight was my second time making it for dinner - YUM!!! Now for my confession: I was lazy and used store-bought crushed tomatoes as a short cut which worked great. Per your suggestion, I served it on a bun with melted cheese. Meatless Monday perfection. This brings you my appreciation.
