Lentil Sloppy Joes

Ciao everyone!!

Don't you love when you find a recipe and comes out better than imagined??

This is one of those moments:)

I saw the idea on chocolatecoveredkatie.com, and had to try it!!

Her pictures made it look rather yummy anyway, but the final result was  really really great!

Lentil Sloppy Joes

serves: 6-8

Ingredients:

3 cups water

1 cup dry lentils

1/2 white onion

3-4 garlic cloves

shake of salt

shake of ground cloves

chili powder

cumin

good amount of black pepper

garlic powder

onion powder

parsley

1 small can tomato paste

a couple shakes of worstechire sauce

apple cider vinegar

water

Directions:

1) Cook lentils in water until boiling; simmer 20-25 minutes

2) As simmering, cook chopped onions and garlic in a large skillet with water until translucent.

3) Add beans; cook until liquid is mostly gone. 

4) Add spices and rest of ingredients; add water so it all mixes beautifully; cook another 10 minutes or so, so that all the flavors mesh nicely together, until liquid is mostly cooked out (remember, the goal is sloppy joes, not sloppy soup;] )

5) Enjoy! My favorite way to have this recipe is with some buckwheat biscuits and cauliflower mash:)

Ciao for now!
