Lentil sloppy joes

[Guest guest]

Sloppy JoJo's in the crockpot

 

1 tbsp. veg. oil

1 large yellow onion, diced

1 celery stalk diced

1 small jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped

1 red or green pepper, seeded and diced

2 tsps. chili powder

1-1/2 cups brown lentils, rinsed (not red lentils)

14-1/2 oz diced tomatoes ( I like the Rotel or flavored style Mexican is the

best)

3 cups water

2 tbsp. low sodium soy sauce

1 tbsp. prepared yellow or brown mustard

1 tbsp. sugar to cut the acid

1 tsp. salt or to taste and add at the end of cooking.

Fresh pepper to taste

 

Heat the oil in a skillet and saute the onion, celery, jalapeno pepper, and red

or green

pepper and chili powder for a few minutes until onion and celery are tender but

still

firm. Transfer then mixture to the crockpot. Add the lentils, tomatoes, water,

soy sauce,

mustard and sugar. Add pepper. Stir. Add the salt at the end, this keeps the

lentils from

taking long to cook and becoming tough. Cover the crockpot, set it on low and

cook for

7-8 hours. Or 1 hr on high and 6-7 on low. Serve on wheat buns and have a lot of

napkins!

Using Quinoa for hamburger substitue?

 

 

 

 

 

Hello. I have a couple of picky eatters and a non-supportive DH. But I'm

determined to eat vegan. Many of the dishes I'd like to convert to vegan use

hamberger... I don't want to use the soy substitues, as some of them are not

clear about whether they are really processed in an healthy way. So, I'm

thinking that I could use Quinoa for hamburger substitue. Has anyone tried that,

or something else? I have used bulger wheat a couple of times - but if I'm

making a sloppy joe, I don't want that much grain. I know that quinoa is a

grain, but it is certainly a more complete grain, and does not have the

challenges that wheat does.

Thanks,

Trena
