Cook this recipe
- canned lentils-2 cans
- green cabbage-3 cups
- yellow onion-75 g
- vegan honey-free barbecue sauce-1 cup
- carrots-1 cup
- apple cider vinegar-2 tablespoons
- vegan mayonnaise-2 tablespoons
- olive oil-1 tablespoon
- Dijon mustard-1 teaspoon
- salt-1/2 teaspoon
- vegan wheat hamburger buns-4 bun
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.
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.
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.
While lentils simmer, toss cabbage, carrots, vinegar, vegan mayonnaise, Dijon and salt until evenly dressed. Keep slaw separate from hot lentils.
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.
Fill buns with a manageable mound of lentils and a little slaw. Divide all extra filling alongside the sandwiches and serve promptly.
