Lentil Sloppy Joes
Tangy, sweet, a little smoky, and exactly as sloppy as the name promises. Lentils soak up the sauce like they were born for it. Grab extra napkins and don't apologize.

Method
- 1
Warm the oil in a skillet and cook the onion and pepper until soft.
- 2
Add the garlic for 30 seconds, then the lentils. Mash about a third of them with a spoon for a meatier texture.
- 3
Stir in the tomatoes, BBQ sauce, mustard and spices. Simmer until thick enough to hold on a bun.
- 4
Toast the burger buns in a dry pan or toaster while the filling finishes.
- 5
Pile onto toasted buns and top with pickles.
Storage
Filling keeps 5 days and freezes for 3 months.
Good to know
- Swapping to TVP? Rehydrate it right in the sauce with an extra half cup of water.
For little ones
Extra napkins. Kids love how messy it is.
