Ingredients

Lentils, 1 cup dry

Organic Textured Soy Protein, 1 cup dry

Tomato Paste, 6 oz

Cumin, 2 tsp

Chili powder, 2 tsp

Salt, 1/3 tsp (or according to your personal salt preference)

Black Pepper, 1/2 tsp (or according to your personal preference)

Green Peppers 1/2 cup, chopped

Onions, raw, 1/2 cup, chopped

Carrots, 1/2 cup, chopped

Cane Sugar, 2 tsp

Garlic, 2 cloves, diced

Rice Vinegar, 1 tsp (optional)

2 cups water

Tips

If you don't have Textured Soy Protein, you can omit it completely or use faux-meat crumbles from the freezer section of most grocery stores (same thing as TSP -- just already re-hydrated and more expensive). If you do either of these things, be sure to subtract 1 cup of water from the recipe!

Directions

Bring a pot of water to a boil, add lentils and carrots and simmer for about 30-60 min(or until lentils are tender). Drain. Mix Lentils and carrots with all other ingredients in a big pot and stir together. Cook on low for 20-30 min, or until most of the excess liquid has evaporated. Stir occasionally while it is cooking
