Adapted from Forks over Knives

 

Ingredients (serves 6)

• 3 1/3 cup of vegetable stock or broth or water
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 red bell pepper, chopped (I used a roasted red pepper because it's what I had on hand)
• 1 Tbsp of chili powder
• 1 1/2 cup of dried brown lentils
• 1 can of fire roasted or regular diced tomatoes
• 1/4 cup of ketchup
• 2 Tbsp of soy sauce or tamari
• 1.5 Tbsp of brown sugar
• 1 tsp of rice vinegar
• 1 tsp of vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
• salt and pepper to taste
• 2 Tbsp of Dijon mustard
• hamburger buns

 

Method

 

In a large soup pan heat 1/3 cup of vegetable stock/broth or water along with the red pepper and onion. Cook 5 minutes or until onion softens. Add chili powder and stir to combine. Add the remaining 3 cups of broth/stock or water as well as the lentils, tomatoes, and remaining ingredients. Mix well and then bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 1 hour. Stir occasionally. After 1 hour, remove lid and allow lentils to sit for 5 minutes before consuming. Enjoy with your favorite buns and condiments.
