   this is a reminder that unless you have dietary restrictions to the contrary, lentils are really good

     @thomasfuchs Indeed, roasted or fried chickpeas aren't just a delicious snack, they're a great protein to putt into other foods. Roasting or pan frying them until crispy puts some chew on them that's very different than the state where you first pull them out of the can.

     @cwebber My wife and I are quite proud of the expanding circle of people we have made lentil sloppy joes for, who largely all immediately agree there is no need to bother with beef again for the dish.

     @danielleigh Yes! And so INCREDIBLY easy to make lentil sloppy joes! I make them in the rice cooker, it's almost no work whatsoever

     How to make: Lentil Sloppy Joes in a rice cooker for almost no effort

     You can double, triple, or whatever you want.

     - Measure out a cup of lentils. Approximately one cup of lentils will make a lot of joes. You can double this trivially
     - Put in twice as much water as you do lentils.
     - If you want, you can dump in some frozen peppers and onions here. Again we are being lazy here, lazy and sloppy
     - LAZIEST OPTION: Add a can of premade sloppy joe sauce
     - LESS LAZY OPTION BUT STILL PRETTY LAZY: Add a can of crushed tomatoes and BBQ sauce, or a heaping tablespoon of chili powder and onion and garlic powder to taste, probably a lot of it. Nutritional yeast is also great.
     - If you have an oldschool rice cooker where you just push the tab down to turn it on, do that! Otherwise, choose the "brown rice" or "multigrain" setting
     - Walk away
     - Come back later, you have lentil sloppy joes!

     Sloppy joes are more popular in the US than anywhere else in the world, so if you aren't familiar, the way to eat them: put them on top of some kind of bread, a bun or toasted bread or whatever, or even serve them open face. A slice of cheese is good but not required. Pickled jalapeño peppers are often good. Dollop your lentils on, and expect it to be messy; I often eat mine open face with a fork, but sometimes I also roll them up like a burrito into wraps!

     @cwebber@social.coop is that clean dried lentils? Or some other "format"?
