How to Make Barbecue Baked Lentils
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large saucepan, combine 2 cups water, 1 cup green lentils, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until lentils are tender but not mushy.
- Drain lentils in a colander over a bowl, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid.
- In a large, covered casserole dish, combine the cooked lentils and 1 medium onion, diced.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1 cup reserved cooking liquid, 1/2 cup ketchup, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Pour the liquid mixture over the lentil mixture in the casserole dish, stirring to combine thoroughly.
