I could see making this with such a product. When I was young, Tivol was coming out with the first such products and they were pretty good. In the US we found one brand that was pretty good, and even scared people by putting the sausage in lasagna.<br /><br />We didn't have "sweet tasting" Sloppy Mordechai Y.

Definitely look for sugar free tomato paste - there are a couple of brands out there - or make your own tomato paste (I often do). Also as far as the lentils getting soft: 1. if your lentils are old, they won't soften. 2. if you have hard water it takes a lot longer to soften the lentils, so I recommend filtering your cooking water in hard-water Esterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04934256824361733440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269979802232920715.post-67744002420608699982014-05-18T09:09:24.456+03:002014-05-18T09:09:24.456+03:00made it as one of the dishes for our vegan shabbat...made it as one of the dishes for our vegan shabbat lunch. because you said dont mess with the maple syrup tomato paste vinegar mix i didn't and even though we love sweet, it seemed too sweet for this sort of dish. but i am finding it impossible to find tomato paste without sugar here, so perhaps the two together made it too sweet and next time i'll half the maple syrup...or less. also, sherrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03043998097966157103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269979802232920715.post-35691607207246461372014-05-04T16:49:03.032+03:002014-05-04T16:49:03.032+03:00You pile it on the bottom half of a roll, and cove...You pile it on the bottom half of a roll, and cover with the top. like Sloppy Joes of course!
