Ingredients: Makes 4-6 servings
1 small onion
1 green bell pepper
3 or 4 cloves of garlic
1 cup of red lentils
1 cup water
1 cup of veggie broth
8 oz tomato sauce
6 oz tomato paste
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
2 TBSP brown sugar
1 tsp Chili Powder
1 tsp yellow mustard
1 TBSP Apple Cider Vinegar
Instructions
Chop onion, green pepper and garlic by hand, or throw it all in a food processor.
Saute veggie in an Instant Pot or on the stove. Use water or veggie broth to saute - no oil.
Add in the rest of the ingredients.
If using an Instant Pot, cover with the lid, set to pressure cook for 15 minutes. When the timer stops, do manual release.
If cooking on the stove, cook for 20 minutes or until the lentils are soft. Stir constantly to make sure the lentils don’t stick to the bottom.
For weight loss, I recommend serving it on ezekial bread. You can also top a potato, serve with rice, or eat it alone. Enjoy!
If you are not trying to lose weight, enjoy on a vegan hamburger bun and enjoy!
Serve and enjoy!
