Sweet, tangy bbq lentils with just a touch of heat.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 small onion chopped
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tsp paprika
- 4 tsp chili powder
- salt and pepper to taste
- pinch cayenne pepper
- 1 jar passata strained tomatoes

- 1/3 cup yellow mustard
- 2 mangoes chopped (we used ataulfo mangoes)
- 1 tsp liquid smoke
- 2 cups green lentils picked over and rinsed
- 1/3 cup fresh parsley chopped (optional)
Instructions
- In a large pot, add 2 tbsp of oil and chopped onion. Cook over medium heat, until onions are soft, but not browning. Add the garlic and spices and cook for 1 minute, or until garlic is fragrant. Add remainder of ingredients and simmer, uncovered for 30 minutes. Sauce may sputter, so if you have a grease shield, use that to save clean up later.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to boil on the stove. Add your lentils and cook for 20-30 minutes, until lentils are soft, but not mushy.
- Once sauce is cooked, stir in the lentils and chopped fresh parsley. Serve warm.
