LENTIL SLOPPY JOES
These lentils take on a rich baked-bean flavor .. robust .. sweet .. yet savory. Not to mention the perfect softness & messiness that traditional Sloppy Joes are made of.

Steps:
- Put the lentils in a small sauce pot and pour in 4 cups beer. Cover and bring to a boil. Once boiling, lower heat and simmer for about 20 minutes, until lentils are soft. Drain and set aside.
- About 10 minutes before the lentils are done boiling, preheat a medium sauce pan pot over medium heat. Saute the onion and pepper in the oil (~ 7 minutes), until softened.
- Add the garlic and saute a minute more.
- Add the cooked lentils, and the the rest of the spices (except the maple syrup & dried mustard). Stir gently until just combined.
- Add the tomato sauce and tomato paste. Cook for about 10 minutes.
- Add the maple syrup and mustard and heat through.
- Turn the heat off and let sit for about 10 minutes, so that the flavors can meld, or go ahead and eat immediately if you can't wait. I like to serve these open faced, with a scoop of sloppy joe on each slice of the bun.

[email protected]I thought these lentil sloppy joes were just okay. The flavor was a bit bland for my taste and the texture was a little mushy. I probably wouldn't make them again.

[email protected]I wasn't sure what to expect from lentil sloppy joes, but I was pleasantly surprised. They were really tasty and satisfying. I especially liked the addition of the Sriracha sauce, which gave them a nice kick.
