Sweet and Sour Lentils Recipe

Course: Main Course
Servings: 0
Author: Ann Timm

Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups water or bone broth
  • 1 cup lentils green or brown, not orange
  • 1/2 medium onion diced
  • 3-4 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 3-4 Tbsp honey
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp. sea salt
  • 1 tsp. basil

Instructions

  • Soak the lentils overnight or start them early in the morning (using the 2 1/4 cups liquid).
  • Without draining, bring the lentils to a boil, then turn low and simmer for 1/2 an hour. Add the onions and cook for another 15 minutes.
  • If there's still quite a bit of liquid remaining, remove the lid and simmer for 10-15 minutes more.
  • When tender, add oil, vinegar, honey and seasonings. Cook again for 5-8 minutes, mixing well.

Notes

I double this recipe for our family of 4, and it gives me enough leftovers to serve it to the kids and I for lunch.
