Instructions
- While your lentils are cooking, sauté all of your ingredients in a medium-large-sized sauté pan. Once the onions are cooked and your lentils are done, stir in your lentils until the sauce mixture is well combined
- Serve immediately on a bun or lettuce wrap. Alternatively, you can store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Two Cooking Options
- Option one: Cook the lentils in a rice cooker or Instant Pot and then add them to a sauté pan with all of the other ingredients. Option two: Cook the lentils in a sauté pan and add in all of your other ingredients simultaneously. Both options work great!
