SPICY LENTIL VEGAN SLOPPY JOES
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.

Steps:
- In a large skillet or pot, heat olive oil over medium-low heat. Add minced onions, pepper, and garlic. Cook until onions and peppers are soft and fragrant, 6-8 minutes. Stir in remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and let cook until lentils are tender but not breaking down, 25-30 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings while cooking.
- Serve on a bun or toasted bread.
Tips:
- Choose the right lentils: For the best texture, use a firm lentil variety such as brown or green lentils.
- Cook the lentils properly: Be sure to rinse the lentils well before cooking and cook them according to the package directions. Overcooked lentils will become mushy.
- Don't skip the spices: The spices in this recipe are what give it its flavor. Be sure to use a good quality chili powder and cumin.
- Use a good quality tomato sauce: The tomato sauce is another important flavor component in this recipe. Use a sauce that you enjoy the taste of.
- Don't be afraid to experiment: This recipe is a great base for experimentation. Try adding different vegetables, spices, or herbs to create your own unique sloppy joe.
Conclusion:
Spicy Vegetarian Sloppy Joes are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. They are also a great way to use up leftover lentils. Serve them on buns with your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, onion, and cheese.
