Snobby Joes Recipes

Steps:

• 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, sauté onions over medium-high heat in a large saucepan until slightly softened.
• Add the peppers and garlic and continue sautéing 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.

Steps:

• Put the lentils in a small sauce pot and pour in 4 cups water. Cover and bring to a boil. Once boiling, lower heat and simmer for about 20 minutes, until lentils are soft. Drain and set aside.
• About 10 minutes before the lentils are done boiling, preheat a medium soup pot over medium heat. Saute the onion in water (small amount) for about 7 minutes, until softened. Add the garlic and saute a minute more.
• Add the cooked lentils, the chili powder, and oregano, and mix. Add the tomato sauce and tomato paste. Cook for about 10 minutes.
• Turn the heat off and let sit for about 10 minutes, so that the flavors can meld, or go ahead and eat immediately if you can't wait.
