Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound portobello mushrooms (gills+stems removed)
3/4 cup California Walnuts
2 tablespoons oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 cups ketchup
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon EACH: dry mustard AND cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (or vegan Worcestershire)
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
buns for serving

Steps:

  • make the 'meat': Pulse the mushrooms and walnuts in a food processor in batches until it breaks down into a ground beef texture.
  • cook: heat the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the onions, bell pepper and minced garlic, and let cook for 5 minutes or until the veggies soften. Add the prepared mushroom mix to the skillet, stir so everything is well combined and let cook for 5 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients: ketchup, brown sugar, dry mustard, cayenne, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, and apple cider vinegar. Stir everything together and let simmer for 5 minutes. Adjust with additional salt to taste.
  • assemble: Serve the prepared sloppy joe mix on top of toasted buns. Best when served the day it's prepared. I find the sloppy joes mixture looses that texture on day two.

Tips:

  • Choose the right lentils. Brown or green lentils are the best choices for this recipe, as they hold their shape well and don't get too mushy.
  • Cook the lentils until they are just tender. Overcooked lentils will be mushy and not very appetizing.
  • Don't skimp on the spices. The spices are what give these sloppy joes their flavor, so be sure to use a generous amount.
  • Use a good-quality barbecue sauce. The barbecue sauce is another key ingredient in this recipe, so be sure to choose one that you like the taste of.
  • Serve the sloppy joes on your favorite buns. Hamburger buns, hot dog buns, or even slider buns are all good options.
  • Top the sloppy joes with your favorite toppings. Cheese, lettuce, tomato, and onion are all classic toppings for sloppy joes, but you can also get creative and try other toppings, such as avocado, bacon, or jalapeños.

Conclusion:

These meatless sloppy joes are a delicious and satisfying meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a casual get-together. They are also a great way to use up leftover lentils. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give these sloppy joes a try. You won't be disappointed!
