Summer means a lot of BBQs. This also means that we need to have a recipe box packed full of delicious vegetarian sloppy joes we can eat. As the name states, these are pretty sloppy so a napkin is most likely needed if you don’t want to stain your pretty t-shirt (we might have done that a few times..), but they are totally worth it!

Ingredients

BBQ Sauce

1/4 tsp. black pepper
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. mustard powder
3/4 tsp. smoked paprika
1 tsp. tamari
2 tsp. apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp. pure maple syrup
1 tbsp. ketchup
1 cup tomato sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 small shallot, diced
1 tsp. olive oil

6 hamburger buns
6 oz. coleslaw
1 1/2 cups cooked chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup dry green lentils

Method

01

Place lentils in a medium-sized pot and cover with 1 cup of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook lentils until tender and cooked through, 20-25 minutes.
02

Heat a large pan over medium heat and add the olive oil and shallots. Season with a pinch of salt and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
03

Add the remaining BBQ sauce ingredients and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the cooked lentils and chickpeas to the BBQ sauce and cook for another 5-10 minutes until everything is heated through.
04

Scoop the sloppy joe mix onto the buns and top with coleslaw if desired.
