Sloppy Lentils Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Heat oil in pan and sauté the onion and peppers until beginning to caramelize.
  • Add the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds more.
  • Add lentils and tomato paste. Stir until well coated.
  • Deglaze the pan with the vegetable broth, and add the remaining seasonings.
  • Bring to a simmer and cook, covered, for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add greens and cook until lentils are done and the liquid is completely absorbed, about another 20 minutes.
  • Add water, as needed, throughout the cooking process. It should be very thick like the consistency of refried beans. If you prefer, you can mash up the lentils a bit, but I don't bother.
  • Serve on whole wheat buns or in a bowl with chips.

    Yum, this sounds like total veggie comfort food. I've been trying to avoid eating processed soy as my vegetarian comfort food catch-all, so it's great to find a lentil-based recipe! I will definitely be trying this one out soon.
