Although I eat primarily raw I still enjoy a fabulous home-cooked vegan meal every now and then. This is one that I made sure to partake in and I was so glad I did! I can’t say I have ever had a ‘real’ sloppy joe, but so far I have never met a vegan one that I didn’t love! This was so comforting and warm and most importantly yummy!! You can serve it on buns for a more authentic take, but I didn’t want all that bread and the wraps really did the job. This dish was surprisingly super quick and easy in the kitchen 🙂 Enjoy!
Vegan Sloppy Joes
1 Tbsp. olive oil
2 Tbsp. dark brown sugar
16 ounces of veggie soy crumbles (I used Morningstar)
6-8 ounces of tomato paste
1/4-1/2 cup water
2 heaping Tbsp. Dijon mustard
1 onion, chopped
2 roma tomatoes or 1 large tomato, chopped
1 tsp. Dried Oregano
1 tsp. Chili Powder
2 Tbsp. organic ketchup
1 Tbsp. rice vinegar
Salt and Pepper, to taste
buns or tortillas
- Heat olive oil in a (non teflon) saucepan and add the soy crumbles to let brown. Stir for 2 minutes to prevent burning.
- Add the brown sugar and tomato paste and mix well, adding water to bring to thick but smooth consistency.
- Mix in the mustard, onion, and tomatoes.
- Once well combined add the oregano and chili powder, ketchup and rice vinegar and stir.
- Season with the salt and pepper.
- Serve on toasted sandwich buns or in heatede tortillas.
