  • vegan honey-free barbecue sauce-1 cup
  • carrots-1 cup
  • apple cider vinegar-2 tablespoons

1
Prep the vegetables and lentils
Knife
Cutting Board
Box grater

Weigh and dice the onion using the ingredient amount. Shred cabbage, grate carrots and rinse lentils. Set out a 12-inch deep skillet, a heatproof lentil holding bowl and a 3-quart slaw bowl.

Keep fingers clear of the knife edge and box grater surface while prepping the vegetables.

75 grams yellow onion
3 cups cabbage
1 cup carrots
2 cans lentils
2
Sauté the onion
Large skillet
Wooden spoon

Heat oil over medium heat and cook onion for 3–4 minutes, until softened and translucent.

Use caution when adding onion to hot oil to avoid splatter.

1 tablespoon olive oil
75 grams yellow onion
3
Simmer the barbecue lentils
Measuring Cups
Large skillet
Wooden spoon

Add lentils and vegan, honey-free barbecue sauce. Simmer for 6–8 minutes, stirring gently, until hot and thick enough to mound on a bun.

Stir gently so the hot saucy lentils do not splatter.

2 cans lentils
1 cup barbecue sauce
4
Make the slaw
Mixing Bowl
Measuring Spoons

While lentils simmer, toss cabbage, carrots, vinegar, vegan mayonnaise, Dijon and salt until evenly dressed. Keep slaw separate from hot lentils.

3 cups cabbage
1 cup carrots
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon mustard
1/2 teaspoon Salt
5
Warm the buns
Large skillet

Transfer lentils to a heatproof bowl and cover. Take the skillet off heat, let cool enough to handle and wipe out the sauce. Toast split buns cut-side down in the dry skillet over medium heat for 1–2 minutes per batch, until lightly toasted.

Use caution around the hot skillet when toasting the buns.
