Ingredients
1 cup uncooked green lentils
4 cups water
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, diced
1 medium green bell pepper, chopped small
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons chili powder
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
(1) 15-ounce can tomato sauce
2 tablespoons ketchup (or tomato paste)
3 tablespoons yellow mustard
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1teaspoon salt, or to taste
burger buns for serving
Directions
1. First, cook the lentils: In a medium pot with a lid, add the lentils and water. Bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer for 18-20 minutes or until tender. Drain excess liquid and set aside.
2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chopped onion, green bell pepper, and garlic and sauté for 3-4 minutes.
3. Now add the chili powder and smoke paprika, and stir to coat the vegetables for about 1 minute. Add a little water if it's too dry.
4. Next, add the tomato sauce, ketchup, mustard, and maple syrup. Stir until well incorporated. Add in the cooked lentils and stir. Season with salt to taste.
5. Serve on burger buns with red onion slices if desired and enjoy! I personally like to eat this just out of a bowl.
