Welcome to the cooking demo with Christine from Plant Life Canada.

Introduce the dish: Vegan Lentil Sloppy Joes, easy and cheap to make.

Show the ingredients: 2 whole bell peppers, 1/2 cup corn, 1 leftover tomato, chopped kale, frozen peas, and brown lentils.

Rinse the brown lentils well before cooking to reduce gas.

Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add chopped veggies (bell peppers, corn, tomato, kale, and peas) with a bit of water to help them cook.

Stir the veggies to soften them, increasing the heat if necessary.

Prepare the sauce in a jar: add 1 cup of tomato sauce, 2 tablespoons of ketchup, 2 teaspoons of mustard, 1.5 tablespoons of tamari, black pepper, 1-2 teaspoons of chili powder, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, and 1-2 teaspoons of hot sauce.

Add 2 teaspoons of corn starch to the sauce for thickness.

Stir the sauce ingredients in the jar until well mixed.

Add minced garlic to the softened veggies in the pan and stir.

Combine the sauce with the veggies in the pan and mix well.
