Method

Add the soy curls to a bowl, cover with hot water, let soak for 20 minutes, then strain. Add them to a nut milk bag (or use your hands) and squeeze out as much liquid as you can. Chop these small or add them to a food processor and pulse a few times to make a ground consistency. Set aside.

Cook the lentils like pasta in a large pot of boiling water for 20 minutes, then strain and set aside.

Add all of the marinade ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth, adding water a little at a time to reach a thick, saucy consistency.

Pour the marinade, soy curls, and cooked lentils into a pot on the stove, heat up to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for just a few minutes to cook the spices. Now you can use it for tacos, nachos, and more!
