vegan sloppy janes

Vegan sloppy joes are so satisfying and easy to make! With TVP or soy curls, these veg sloppy joes have a chewy and meaty texture, plus all of the savory, sweet, and tangy flavor of the classic American sandwich.Yield: makes enough for 3 or 4 sandwiches

Vegan Sloppy Joes

dry soy curls or TVP (see Note 1)

Tablespoon tamari (for GF) or soy sauce

Tablespoon olive oil,

onion,

tomato paste

chili powder

cumin

paprika,

black pepper

ketchup

mustard

balsamic or apple cider vinegar

sauce,

hamburger buns

red onion

hamburger dills

cheese

Soak

Place the dry soy curls (or TVP) in a bowl and add ¾ cup water plus a tablespoon of soy sauce. Stir well and set aside to soak. If using larger pieces of soy curls (not the small, broken bits), after they&#39;re hydrated, either pulse them in a food processor or transfer to a cutting board and chop them up by hand.

Saute

Preheat a large skillet over medium heat and add the oil, if using. Saute the onion and bell pepper for 5 minutes. For oil-free, add a splash of water to help soften the veggies. Add the tomato paste and stir to mix it in.

Add the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and black pepper. Stirring frequently, cook for about 1 minute. Add the ketchup, mustard, and vinegar, and stir again.

Simmer

Pour the hydrated TVP/chopped soy curls into the skillet and stir well. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes or until just getting hot. Add ½ cup water, and increase the heat to bring to a simmer. If it starts to look too dry, add up to ¼ cup more water. Stirring occasionally, cook for about 5 minutes or until sticky and hot.

Serve

Taste for seasoning, and add a few dashes of hot sauce if desired. Serve hot on toasted buns with your favorite toppings. Sloppy joe mix is also delicious on salads, tacos, grains, pasta, and potatoes.

This recipe is a winner! The taste was more like a BBQ pulled chicken/pork sandwich. I loved the texture of the soy curls.
The only negative for me was it was a little sweet for my taste but I’m sure that has to do with the brand of ketchup you use (I used Walmart’s organic ketchup.) I may use half tomato sauce/half ketchup and add a  sweetener if needed. 
I doubled the recipe and am looking forward to dinner tomorrow and will add the recipe to my monthly rotation, thanks Lori!

Thank you for a sloppy joe recipe without lentils!! I love lentils but they give me gas/bloat. I’m making this for dinner tonight and will post a comment after, thanks Lori!
