Instructions
  1. Cover lentils with water. Bring pot to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for about 20 minutes or until soft.
  2. Saute onion in oil/broth/water until soft. Meanwhile measure garlic, coconut sugar, chili powder, cumin and paprika into small bowl and open tomato sauce cans.
  3. When onion is soft, add spices and stir for about 30 seconds or until fragrant. Add tomato sauce and stir, then add soy sauce/coconut aminos.
  4. Drain and gently rinse lentils, then combine with tomato mixture. Flavor will develop over time but are also delicious served immediately.
Recipe Notes

Leftovers will keep in the fridge at least a week or the freezer for a month or more.

Lentils can be cooked in 4 cups water or broth and not drained, however with all legumes I prefer to discard cooking water as it tends to create more gas.
