1 Tablespoon Tamari soy sauce
2 Tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 Tablespoon vinegar
1 teaspoon vegan Worcestershire sauce
1 Tablespoon maple syrup, agave nectar or honey (optional)
1/2 cup fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

Saute onions and bell pepper in 1/3 cup vegetable stock in a large pot for 5 minutes. Add chili powder and saute one minute longer. Add remaining liquid, lentils, tomatoes and seasonings. Bring to boil and simmer one hour or until lentils are tender.
