Vegetarian Sloppy Joes

1. In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. To the skillet, add ½ cup water, then stir in the ketchup, tomato paste, Worcestershire, vinegar, mustard, honey, mustard powder and garlic powder. Reduce the heat to low and season to taste with salt and pepper.

2. In a medium saucepan, combine the lentils with 2 cups water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook, covered, until the lentils are tender, 18 to 20 minutes.

3. When the lentils are cooked, add them to the skillet with the sauce and stir to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.

4. Serve the sloppy joes on toasted hamburger buns topped with coleslaw, if desired.
