RECIPE:

BBQ Lentil Sliders

These are super easy to prepare. To make it even simpler, I make them in our rice cooker. You can also use a regular pot on stove top, crock pot or instant pot. It takes about 40 minutes in the rice cooker until the lentils are tender. Your cooking time will obviously vary if you use one of the other methods above.
INGREDIENTS

• 1 c lentils
• 3 c water
• 2 tsp better than bouillon
• 1 Tbsp molasses
• 4 Tbsp ketchup
• 1 tsp coconut aminos or Bragg’s or tamari
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 1/2 tsp sesame oil
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 clove minced garlic
• black pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS

1. Rinse and drain lentils. Add to the pot with all other ingredients.
2. Bring to a boil and then reduce to simmer and cover.
3. Cook covered until lentils are tender.
4. Enjoy these on slider buns, in a burrito, with rice, on salad or even
5. with crackers!
