Honey Baked Lentils

This lentil dish is a lovely combination of sweet and tangy. If you want to use horseradish mustard, that will add zip as well. We've left the amount of honey variable, so you may sweeten to your own taste.

• 2 1/2 cups lentils
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
• 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 medium carrots, grated
• 1/4 - 1/2 cup honey

METHOD

In a medium sauce pan bring 5 cups water to a boil. Stir in lentils, bay leaf and salt. Cover tightly, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 30 minutes. Remove bay leaf, set lentils aside from heat without draining.

Preheat oven to 350° F.

In a small bowl, whisk together mustard, ginger, soy sauce. Combine well. Add onion, carrot and 1 cup water.

Stir mustard mixture into reserved lentils. Transfer to baking dish or casserole.

Drizzle honey over top. Cover tightly.

Bake in preheated 350° F oven for 1 hour.
