Ingredients

Servings:

1 cup lentils dried
2 cloves garlic sliced
1 cup pomegranate juice
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 tbsp molasses
1/2 tsp dry mustard
1 tsp sugar brown
2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce; chopped
1 tbsp adobo sauce
3 slices bacon preferably applewood smoked

Instructions

In a large pot, combine the lentils and 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce and let simmer for 30 minutes or until the lentils soften.
Meanwhile, prepare sauce: Heat olive oil and garlic in a medium skillet and cook until garlic softens. Add next 7 ingredients (through adobo) and whisk to combine. Bring to a simmer and let reduce for 10-15 minutes, or until it becomes thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Combine the lentils and sauce in a small baking dish. Arrange the bacon in a single layer over the top. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes, or until bacon has crisped and sauce has become very thick.
