Prep

Step 1. Bring Lentils and Water to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce to a simmer and cook until tender but not falling apart, about 25 minutes; drain.
Step 2. Meanwhile, toss Cabbage and Carrot with half the Apple Cider Vinegar, Mayonnaise, and a quarter of the Salt in a bowl. Set aside.

Cook

Step 3. Heat Olive Oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add Onion and Bell Pepper and cook, stirring, until softened, about 7 minutes.
Step 4. Stir in Garlic and Smoked Paprika and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Step 5. Add Tomato Sauce, Ketchup, Mustard, the rest of the Apple Cider Vinegar, and the rest of the Salt. Simmer over low heat until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
Step 6. Stir the drained lentils into the sauce. Simmer over low heat until coated and thick enough to mound on a bun, about 3 minutes.

Finish & serve

Step 7. Meanwhile, toast Burger Buns cut-side down in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden, about 2 minutes. Spoon the lentil mixture onto the buns and serve with the slaw.
