Snobby Joes Recipe - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup dry lentils
4 cups water
1 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or 1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, finely chopped (or any other color)
2 -3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon chili powder (or more to taste)
1 teaspoon cumin
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1/4 cup tomato paste
1 -2 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon brown mustard

Preparation

Pour lentils and water into saucepan and bring to a boil.
Lower the temperature and simmer for 20 minutes until lentils are cooked soft.
About 10 minutes after you lower the temperature on the lentils, saute onions over medium-high heat in a large saucepan until slightly softened.
Add the peppers and garlic and continue sauteing until the peppers and garlic are soft and the onions are starting to get golden in color.
Shake in cumin and chili powder and mix well.
Strain the cooked lentils and pour into the pan with the onions. Stir together.
Add tomato paste, tomato sauce, mustard and brown sugar and continue cooking for about 10 minutes.
Lower the temperature to minimal heat and keep warm until you're ready to eat (the longer it sits, the more flavors will meld together).
Serve your Snobby Joes in pita, a hamburger bun, or over rice.
