Vegan Sloppy Joes


2cups dried green lentils, picked over for debri + rinsed well
3cups veggie stock
28oz strained tomatoes
1/2cup + 2T tomato paste
1 onion, chopped 
1 red bell pepper, chopped
2T apple cider vinegar
2T sugar
3 garlic cloves, pressed
1T oregano
1t smoked paprika
1T chili powder
1/2T parsley
1/2-1 1/2t salt* (the stock will already have salt, so be cautious)
black pepper, to taste
1/4-1/2t cayenne [optional]

Add all ingredients into your crock pot, stir until well combined and cook on high, covered, for 3.5-4hrs or low for 7-8hrs. After that amount of time, test to make sure the lentils are cooked through.  They should have a slight al dente bite to them.  If they’re not done, recover and cook for 30min increments + keep testing. Remove the lid + stir.  If it’s not thick enough, place on high for 30min – 1hr with the lid off.  Will also thicken as it sits. Serve on toasted buns.
