VEGAN SLOPPY JOES

Vegan Sloppy Joes image

Wonderfully sweet and tangy Sloppy Joes that I grew up with, but veganized! You won't find any bell peppers here. This is far more wholesome than most Sloppy Joe recipes. The spices can be easily adjusted. These are also great with sweet potato fries! Try this for a quick and economical weeknight meal.

SPICY LENTIL VEGAN SLOPPY JOES

Spicy Lentil Vegan Sloppy Joes image

I've been on a sloppy joe kick lately. This lentil sloppy joe is easy to throw together, has a flavorful, firm texture, and is packed full of protein. It's also good to smother a baked potato, it's so good! Today I improvised a little and threw in cooked brown rice and some crushed walnuts. Feel free to experiment! From Naturally Ella.

Time 50m

Yield 1-2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 medium onion, minced
1/4 red bell pepper, minced (or green)
1 garlic clove, minced
1 3/4-2 cups water
1/2 cup tomatoes, strained (to remove excess liquid)
1/4 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon vegan worcestershire sauce (like Annie's or use regular Worcestershire sauce if desired)
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon molasses
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 cup green lentil

Steps:

In a large skillet or pot, heat olive oil over medium-low heat. Add minced onions, pepper, and garlic. Cook until onions and peppers are soft and fragrant, 6-8 minutes. Stir in remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and let cook until lentils are tender but not breaking down, 25-30 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings while cooking.
Serve on a bun or toasted bread.

Tips:

- Always have the right and fresh ingredients. Fresh vegetables will provide the best flavor and texture to your Sloppy Joes, so it's best to buy them fresh from the market or your local grocery store. - Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices and ingredients. The recipe provided is a great starting point, but you can easily customize it to your own taste by adding more or less of certain spices, or by adding other ingredients like diced bell peppers or zucchini. - If you're short on time, you can use canned or frozen vegetables instead of fresh. Just be sure to drain and rinse them thoroughly before using. - To make your Sloppy Joes even more flavorful, you can brown the ground beef or turkey in a skillet before adding it to the slow cooker. This will help to develop a richer flavor. - Be patient! The longer you let your Sloppy Joes simmer, the better they'll taste. So don't be afraid to let them cook for 8-10 hours on low, or even overnight.
