Brown lentils for this? Or green?
Also, if someone is making this for a vegetarian, regular Worchestershire sauce is made from fish. So you need vegetarian Worchestershire sauce, which I only see somewhere like Whole Foods. Just FYI!
Can you just use canned diced tomatoes ? Tomato sauce and ketchup have too much sugar.
I substitute Worcestershire sauce with coconut aminos.
If I want to make with half lentils and half meat how much meat do I use?
I would use 1 cup lentils and 1 cup lean ground beef.
