Baked Bean-tils or Sloopy Lentils

I'm not exactly sure how to classify this dish, but think cooked lentils with a BBQ twist:

0.5 tablespoon coconut oil
1 red onion, chopped
3 sticks of celery chopped
1.5 cups dry green lentils (green lentils are important, red ones will turn to mush when simmered)
14.5 oz diced tomatoes
14.5 oz crushed tomatoes
2 cups water
dash of liquid smoke
0.5 teaspoon of chipotle powder
0.5 teaspoon of smoked paprika

Saute the red onion an celery in the coconut oil, 5-7 minutes. Add spices and simmer another minute longer. Add lentils, tomato, and water and simmer for 30-40 minutes depending on how mushy you want the lentils.

Serve open-faced over bread or rolls.

If you want to make it more BBQ-y, I'd add some molasses and a pinch of cinnamon to the mix. As we did it this time, the dish was dominated by a tomato+pepper flavor and wasn't quite BBQ.
