2 cups Beluga lentils, cooked
3 Tbsp Organic cold-pressed Coconut oil
1 medium Yellow Onion
1 large Bell Pepper (green)
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 ½ Tbsp Chili Powder
1 Tbsp Smoked Paprika
3 Tbsp Tomato Paste
1 can Tomato Sauce (passerade tomat)
1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 Tbsp tamari
3 Tbsp Yellow Mustard
¼ cup Date syrup
½ tsp liquid smoke (optional)
sea salt and pepper
Cook the lentils according to the directions on the package, add a pinch of salt.
To make the sauce: Saute the onions and bell pepper in the coconut oil until softened then stir in the rest of the sauce ingredients and simmer on low for 15 minutes. Season the sauce with salt and pepper and adjust the sweetness with date syrup or honey for a slightly sweeter bbq.
Add the lentils to the bbq and simmer for another 5 minutes. Serve on top of a lightly toasted bun and top with pickled red onions, salad or jalapeños for a kick. Coleslaw also makes a great side to sloppy joes.
