- When soft, add the minced garlic and stir for 2-3 minutes.
- Now add the lentils,the Worcestershire sauce, the soy sauce, the paprika, the hot pepper and the liquid smoke. Mix together with the other ingredients and cover in water. Add salt and pepper.
- Bring to a boil and then lower the heat to medium. Cook until the lentils are soft, adding more (hot)
water if necessary. Try to leave the lentils as "dry" as possible.
- Taste and check on seasoning. More salt, perhaps, or a little more liquid smoke? It's up to you.
- Process the lentil mixture in a food processor until yu have a thick paste. Add olive oil to your taste.
- Serve with flatbreads, on crackers, etc. Freezes well!
