This recipe uses three types of fresh chile. When preparing the chiles, it's usual to remove the seeds and the membrane as that is where the most intense heat lies. Of course, if you like your food super-hot and spicy, add the seeds and the membrane too!

I've been on a sloppy joe kick lately. This lentil sloppy joe is easy to throw together, has a flavorful, firm texture, and is packed full of protein. It's also good to smother a baked potato, it's so good! Today I improvised a little and threw in cooked brown rice and some crushed walnuts. Feel free to experiment! From Naturally Ella.
