When I was pregnant with Rain I remember craving those yummy sandwiches from my childhood so I created this vegan Sloppy Joes recipe (aka Faux Joes).

It’s completely plant-based, packed with fiber, protein and nutrients and hits the spot every time.  Even your kids will love it! Guaranteed!

Vegan Sloppy Joes Recipe (aka Faux Joes)

Ingredients:

• 1 cup uncooked brown or green lentils
• 4 cups water
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 large onion, diced small
• 1 green pepper, diced small
• 1 c organic ketchup
• 1 Tbsp mustard
• 1 Tbsp raw apple cider vinegar
• 1 Tbsp organic maple syrup
• 4 sprouted grain buns

Directions:

1. Put the lentils and water in a pot and bring to a boil.
2. Cover and simmer for 15 – 20 minutes until lentils are soft.  Remove from stove, drain and put aside.
3. Meanwhile, sauté onion and pepper in olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat until onion is transparent.  This will take 5 – 10 minutes.
4. Add remaining ingredients and cook for 15 minutes.
5. Dig in!
