Serves: 8
Ingredients
1 T Olive Oil
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
1 small red or green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 T Chili Powder
1½ c dried brown lentils
One 14.5 oz can crushed tomatoes
3 c. water
2T tamari or soy sauce
1 T prepared mustard
1 T packed light brown sugar or natural sweetener
1 teaspoon salt
Fresh ground black pepper
Instructions
Heat oil is skillet over medium heat. Add onions and peppers, cover and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the chili powder, stirring to coat.
Transfer onion mixture to a 3½ - 4 quart slow cooker. Add lentils, tomatoes, water, tamari, mustard, brown sugar, salt and pepper to taste and stir to combine. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours.
Notes
The original recipe calls for cooking onions and peppers first in a pan, then adding it to the slow cooker. I just toss it all in. If there's a difference, I can't tell.
