BARBECUE BAKED LENTILS

Steps:

• In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and stir to coat. Saute for 7-10 minutes, until onion begins to caramelize, stirring frequently. Add garlic and cook and stir for another minute or 2. You'll smell the garlic!
• While onion is cooking, remove lentils from package, place in a colander with tight mesh or holes, and rinse. Allow to drain in sink.
• When onion-garlic mixture is cooked, add lentils to the skillet. Add ketchup, maple syrup, molasses, paprika, chili powder, cumin, cinnamon and pepper, and stir to combine. Add a tablespoon or 2 of water if mixture seems dry. Allow to cook on low-medium heat for 5 or so minutes. Stir occasionally, adding another tablespoon or 2 of water if mixture seems dry due to evaporation.
• Remove from heat and serve. Garnish with snipped chives or chopped scallions (green onions), if you remember. I didn't!
