Add the chopped onion and peppers and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until it smells good. Make a sloppy jaw mixture: add cooked lentils to a skillet with the vegetables. Stir in ketchup, apple cider vinegar, date syrup, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, cumin and oregano. Mix well and combine. Simmer: Simmer the mixture for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until thick. Season and season with salt and pepper.
