Ingredients
1 C uncooked lentils. I've used black ones and regular ones1TBS oilI large onion choppedI medium carrot choppedI clove garlic mincedI can diced tomatoes1.5 TBS maple syrup or brown sugar1.5 TBS vinegarveggie stock or water and magi cubeWhatever spices you like in your sloppy joes. I use a mix of cumin, smoked paprika, hot paprika, and chili powder.
Directions
pick over lentils, rinse them and put them in a pot of water over medium heat. When they come to a boil turn them down, put the lid on and let them simmer for about 20 minutes.

While the lentils are cooking, put the oil in a pan, heat and add the onions, cooking until soft, then add the carrots.

Add the garlic and whatever spices you want and stir for a minute, then add the can of tomatoes and the maple syrup. Heat through.

Drain and add the lentils and enough stock to cover everything. Put on the lid and cook for another 20 minutes or so. Test to see if lentils are soft.

When lentils are soft, remove lid and cook down until most of the liquid has evaporated.
