Guest guest Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 My husband is not a fan of fake meat stuff but this recipes calls for lentils instead. The really small lentils called french or buluga lentels give the perfect texture. This served with coleslaw is divine. http://www.theppk.com/recipes/dbrecipes/index.php?RecipeID=2059 Snobby Joes Submitted by Isa prep time: | cooking time: 35 minutes start to finish | makes 4 to 6 sammiches From Veganomicon. Every vegan cookbook needs a sloppy joe recipe with the name changed around a bit, right? Well, this is ours. Those sloppy joes we loved as a child but made with lentils. Snobby Joe thinks he's better than all the other Joes because he doesn't have any meat. Equipment: Just a pot or two Ingredients 1 cup uncooked lentils 4 cups water 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 medium yellow onion, diced small 1 green pepper, diced small 2 cloves garlic, minced 3 Tablespoons chili powder 2 teaspoons oregano 1 teaspoon salt 8 oz can tomato sauce 1/4 cup tomato paste 3 tablespoons maple syrup 1 tablespoon yellow mustard (wet mustard) 4 to 6 kaiser rolls or sesame buns Directions Put the lentils in a small sauce pot and pour in 4 cups water. Cover and bring to a boil. Once boiling, lower heat and simmer for about 20 minutes, until lentils are soft. Drain and set aside. About 10 minutes before the lentils are done boiling, preheat a medium soup pot over medium heat. Saute the onion and pepper in the oil for about 7 minutes, until softened. Add the garlic and saute a minute more. Add the cooked lentils, the chili powder, oregano and salt and mix. Add the tomato sauce and tomato paste. Cook for about 10 minutes. Add the maple syrup and mustard and heat through. Turn the heat off and let sit for about 10 minutes, so that the flavors can meld, or go ahead and eat immediately if you can't wait. I like to serve these open faced, with a scoop of snobby joe on each slice of the bun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 I am tempted to try this. I hate beans and lentils but know that I should add them to my diet. Do you think this would be a good recipe for those who don't like beans and lentils?

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Yes, that's one of the reasons I really liked the recipe. My husband is extremely fussy about beans. He eats black beans and peas and that's it. But he really likes this dish. The tomato sauce overwhelms the taste of the lentils so it's more there for texture. Again I think the key is to use the TINY lentils ... called bulga or french lentils. It's not as good with the regular sized lentils. , Judith Turner <jet1220 wrote: > > I am tempted to try this.
