Barbecue Lentils

[secondbase]

this recipe works very well! i made this and served it over basmati rice. i didn't make any improvisations, but i almost wish i had minced up some celery, or added another clove or two of garlic. very good as is, though. thanks for the great recipe!

I served this with whole wheat rolls, and it was mmm mmm good!  I love the way all of the different flavors come together and the texture of the lentils.

There are LOTS of leftovers, and I'm sure I'll run out of buns before lentils, but you won't hear any complaints from me =)

This was a pretty good recipe... I made a vegan feast for friends, and most agreed that the lentils were good.  However, I wouldn't make this recipe again.  I'd definitely try something similar, but whatever it was that this recipe was trying to capture, I think it may have just barely escaped.  It needs work and tweaking... a nice startin point though...

This one knocked the socks off my bf.
I crave it!

I halved the recipe earlier today, and finished the whole thing of it by myself over the course of about 8 hours. Very easy and tasty. I thought it was best after sitting out a couple of hours actually. At first it was a little too tangy, but it mellowed out after sitting.

I added celery (1 stalk for the halved recipe) as secondbase suggested, which was a very good call. For some reason the lentils were still a little al dente after cooking for 45 minutes but I didn't mind. Will make again soon.

Mmmm. I thought these were great. I made a few additions, and the lentils tasted very BBQ-Y! I used a whole yellow onion, 2 garlic cloves, s, p, cumin, red lentils, broth, yellow mustard, ketchup, balsamic vinegar, horseradish mustard, and a little chili sauce and liquid smoke. Oh, and I used maple syrup. I made a sandwich out of it, and it was really messy! Mine came out with just the right spice (just a tad mouth burning)!

it was really, really, good... i used red lentils instead... it took over an hour of cooking though...  totally worth it

Really? Mine took like 15 minutes! I guess they were still a bit chewy...but I kind of like that.

Really tasty! I added about 1/2 tbs. celery seed, and cumin. I also kicked it up with some cayenne (too taste).  Served with whole wheat rolls.  Will definitely make this again!

 This was sooo delicious. A keeper. Thanks!

Really good recipe.  I followed the recipe as closely as I could.  I used extra sugar in place of agave, because I didn't have that.  Also, chili powder in the UK is different to the US and so I tried to sub as best as I could.
I also added celery as per secondbase's recommendation just because he is awesome.  The celery was a fantastic addition and I would definitely recommend adding celery.

I really enjoyed the lentils and am going to add this to my regular recipe collection.  I used leftovers for lunch the next day and the leftovers may even have been better - I guess it gave time for the flavours to meld together.  Yummy.

Great flavor! Here's what I did a bit differenty. Didnt have balsmic vinegar so I used an oil/baslamic vinegar mix and threw in a dash of red wine vinegar. Added a little cumin, liquid smoke, 3 cloves of garlic, almost 2 tablespoons of dijon nayo, used yellow mustard , regular yellow onion and maple syrup. 

It took a long time to get those lentils to cook. They were a bit chewy when done because I felt like adding more water lost that great flavor it had.

I have been making tons of really good recipes in the last few weeks and my bf said this one had the best flavor hands down and kept sneaking in the kitchen for more....so did I  . A regular now. Thanks!!!

I reviewed this recipe a while ago, just adding one thing-- I still make it regularly and I still really like it! Only now I've been tending to make more of the sauce part... like 1.5 times the amount in the recipe, just because I like having more sauce so I can dip bread into it. Wheat bread is excellent with the barbecue lentils. So if you're a sauce sopper-upper like I am you might want to consider making more sauce.

I really liked this recipe. I added chopped green bell peppper & lots of hot sauce. Since I try to cut down on fat I sauted the onion in water.
