Steps:
- Combine 2 1/2 cups water and lentils in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover saucepan, and simmer until all the liquid is absorbed and lentils are tender, 20 to 30 minutes.
- Mix 1/3 cup water and ground flax seed together in a bowl; set aside until thickened, at least 10 minutes.
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat; cook and stir onion, mushrooms, celery, and garlic until softened and liquid from mushrooms has evaporated, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a loaf pan.
- Transfer cooked lentils to a food processor and pulse until about 75 percent of lentils are mashed. Mix onion-mushroom mixture, flax seed-water mixture, oats, flour, basil, black pepper, salt, and onion powder into lentils until well combined. Press lentil mixture into the prepared loaf pan.
- Combine ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, and barbeque sauce in a saucepan over medium-low heat; cook and stir until glaze is smooth and brown sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat.
- Bake loaf in the preheated oven for 35 minutes. Spread 1/4 cup glaze over lentil loaf; continue baking until cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes more. Serve lentil loaf with remaining glaze on the side.

BBQ LENTILS
From the Harrisburg Patriot Food section for Dec 14. No promises because I am putting it here for me also From the Biggest Loser Cookbook by Rodale Added: July 15th. I tried this. The brown lentils seem to take forever as the reviewers said. I would suggest trying a faster lentil. Red might be much easier in this recipe but watch it carefully when you do. French took ages. No all Lentils are not created equal [grin]

Tips:
- Choose the right lentils. Brown lentils are the most common type used in BBQ lentils, but you can also use green or black lentils. Brown lentils hold their shape well and have a slightly nutty flavor. Green lentils are smaller and have a milder flavor, while black lentils are larger and have a more peppery flavor.
- Use a flavorful BBQ sauce. The BBQ sauce is what gives BBQ lentils their signature flavor, so make sure to choose a sauce that you enjoy. You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own.
- Don't overcook the lentils. Lentils are done cooking when they are tender but still hold their shape. Overcooked lentils will be mushy and bland.
- Add your favorite toppings. BBQ lentils are great on their own, but they can also be topped with a variety of ingredients, such as cheese, sour cream, avocado, or salsa.
Conclusion:
BBQ lentils are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. They are a great source of plant-based protein and fiber, and they can be made with a variety of different ingredients, making them a great option for people with dietary restrictions. Whether you serve them as a main course or a side dish, BBQ lentils are sure to be a hit.
