Honey Baked Lentils with Barley


I've been trying to get Charlie to eat beans, but now the full court press is on to eat lentils...a healthier legume! And this recipe was perfect because I have been dying to try recipes that incorporate barley.

Ingredients:
  • 2/3 cup lentils
  • 1/3 cup barley
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp ginger
  • 1 clove garlic, minced (I use more than this!)
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • salt and pepper
Directions:
  1. Toss in a dish
  2. Cover with foil
  3. Bake at 350 degrees until tender (about an hour and a half)
How's that for easy? It's a pretty tasty side dish and best of all, it's fiber-licious.

Now I want more of a soupy lentil recipe...
