2 tablespoons

Directions
-
Pick through 1 cup of lentils then rinse and drain and add to a saucepan with 3 cups water. Bring to boil, then cover and simmer for 15-20 mins.
-
Make your slaw by adding the slaw mix, oil, vinegar and honey to a small bowl and toss to combine. Store in the fridge while you prep the rest of the meal.
-
Dice your carrots and onion and gather your spices and condiments.
-
Add the olive oil to your pan and toss in the onions and carrots and sauté until tender 10-15 mins while your lentils finish cooking.
-
When the lentils are done, rinse thoroughly to stop the cooking process and transfer to the bowl of your food processor and give the lentils 5-6 pules to slightly break apart the disc shapes.
-
Add the lentils to the pan with the softened onions and carrots and add in the tomato sauce, ketchup, garlic powder, chili powder, red wine vinegar, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard. Salt and pepper to taste.
-
Continue to cook the lentil and veggie mixture another 5 mins to bring all the flavors together. When ready to serve add a heaping portion on top of the sliced brioche roll and top with cold Cole slaw. Serve warm with chips or French fries if desired.
