28 oz can Diced Tomatoes (look for BPA free or use 3 fresh tomatoes chopped)
3 Tbsp Tomato Paste
1 cup Water
1-2 Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
1-2 tsp Mustard

Rinse the lentils thoroughly and place in a pot with the 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer for approximately 20 minutes. Do not overcook. You want the lentils soft they will continue cooking with the other ingredients.
In a separate large pan, saute the onion, pepper and carrot in olive oil or water for 5-10 minutes. Add the garlic, chili powder, paprika and brown sugar. Cook stirring constantly for 2 minutes.
Drain the lentils and add to the onion veggie mixture. Stir in diced tomatoes, tomato paste, water, Worcestershire sauce and mustard. Simmer over medium heat for about 20- 30 minutes.
