Slim Sloppy Joes



On these cold nights, it's nice to snuggle up with a messy, warm meal.  Here's my healthy, vegan version of sloppy joes.  Enjoy!

Combine in a large saucepan:

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion
2 stalks chopped celery
1 chopped red pepper
2 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon chili popwder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Saute until vegetables are soft.  Add:

1 cup lentils
1 can kidney beans
1/2 can tomato paste
4 cups water

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until lentils are soft and excess fluid has steamed off.  Serve on buns.
