How to Make Bbq Lentils

1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat.
2. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and cook for 3 minutes, or until softened.
3. Add 2 cloves garlic, minced, 1 teaspoon chili powder, and 1/2 teaspoon mustard powder.
4. Cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant. Do not brown the garlic.
5. Add 2 cups vegetable broth, 1/2 cup BBQ sauce, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon honey, and 1 cup red lentils.
6. Stir well and bring to a boil.
7. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until lentils are tender but still hold their shape. (Red lentils cook much faster than brown or French lentils).
8. If needed, add 1/4 cup water and simmer for another 5 minutes to adjust consistency.
9. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
