Spicy Lentil Vegan Sloppy Joes image

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.

Yield 1-2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 medium onion, minced
1/4 red bell pepper, minced (or green)
1 garlic clove, minced
1 3/4-2 cups water
1/2 cup tomatoes, strained (to remove excess liquid)
1/4 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon vegan worcestershire sauce (like Annie's or use regular Worcestershire sauce if desired)
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon molasses
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 cup green lentil

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.

Yum! This recipe is a great way to use up leftover lentils. I also like to add some chopped vegetables to the mix.
