Step 1
Very finely mince the garlic, bell pepper, celery, and carrot or pulse in a food processor. Add to a nonstick pan over medium heat (spritzed with nonstick spray or lined with a small amount of water). Sautee 5 minutes.
Step 2
Add the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 5 – 10 minutes until the flavors have melded.
Step 3
Use as you would sloppy joe sauce. Typically 1½ c per 2 heaping cups meat substitute (such as soy crumbles, crumbled tempeh/tofu, veggies) or even “real” meat, if desired.
Step 4
Store extra in a sealed container in the fridge or freezer.
