Make

  1. Bring a large stock pot of salted water for the corn to boil.

  2. When water is boiling, add corn and boil until tender, 5 to 7 minutes.

  3. While corn boils, heat a skillet with oil (portion for sandwiches) over medium heat. Add onions and saute until onions are very soft and light golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes.

  4. To onions, add lentils and BBQ sauce. Saute for 2 to 3 minutes to let sauce flavor lentils. (Note: Depending on the thickness of your BBQ sauce, you may need to simmer the lentils for a few extra minutes. You want the mixture to be thick enough that it can be spooned into buns.)

  5. Toast buns.

  6. Season slaw with some salt and pepper and toss it to combine.

  7. Serve lentils and slaw in buns. Enjoy corn on the cob with butter and some salt.
