Ingredients

Servings:

1⁄2 cup lentils dried, rinsed
1 1⁄2 cups water
1⁄2 cup sugar
1⁄3 cup cocoa powder unsweetened
1⁄3 cup flour all-purpose
1⁄4 tsp salt
1 1⁄4 cups corn syrup light
3 eggs
3 tbsps butter or margarine; melted
1 1⁄2 tsps vanilla extract
1⁄2 cup pecans chopped
1 cup pecans halves
pastry shell 10-inch, unbaked

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a medium saucepan, combine lentils with 11⁄2 cups water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer until lentils are tender (about 25 minutes). Drain.
Combine sugar, cocoa, flour, salt, corn syrup, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl and beat for 30 seconds at medium speed; do not overbeat. Stir in cooked lentils and chopped pecans.
Pour into an unbaked pastry shell. Bake 55 to 60 minutes; immediately arrange pecan halves on top, and bake for another 5 minutes. Cool. For best flavor, cover pie and let stand a day before serving.
