Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 3-4 cups low sodium GF broth (save a little extra for the end of cooking)
  • 8 ounces of lentils
  • 1/2 to 1 cup red beans, black eyed peas, or adzuki beans
  • 1 cup cooked chicken sausage (chopped)- I used a red pepper and spinach flavor
  • Half a cup of diced onion – red or white
  • 2 tsp of Your favorite barbecue rub or seasoning. If it has high salt content,reduce amount you use or taste first.
  • 1 tablespoon molasses
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • Half a cup of diced carrots or tomatoes (optional)
  • Vegan Option- 6 -8 ounces in diced tempeh, tofu, chickpeas, etc.

Instruction

  • Prepare the lentils according to the package first, replacing the water with broth. I use low-sodium broth due to the salt content i will be adding with the rub. Half way through the cooking process add your spices, chicken sausage, veggies, and BBQ rub.
  • Add a little more broth or water if needed and continue to simmer for another 10 minutes or until lentils and veggies are fully cooked. Stir in your molasses for a little sweetness.
  • place everything in on high for 3 hrs or low for 4-5 hrs..
