Preparation
Step 1
Heat olive oil in a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and saute until softened and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and spices and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute; do not brown garlic.
Add broth, tomato sauce, vinegar, mustard, agave, and lentils. Stir well and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until lentils are tender, but intact, about 30 minutes. Lentil cooking times vary. If necessary, add an additional 1/4 cup water and simmer for 5 minutes longer if lentils are not tender. Season with salt and pepper.
Yield: 2 quarts; 8 (1/2 cup) servings.
