Sloppy Steves
1 lb firm tofu, frozen overnight, squeezed dry, and crumbled (you can also do this without
freezing, just squeeze dry and crumble)
1 large onion, chopped
1 large red or green pepper, chopped
2 tablespoon nutritional yeast (optional)
2 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari sauce
1.5 cups ketchup
2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon brown sugar or sucanat or molasses
1 tablespoon vinegar (red or white)
2 tablespoon lemon juice
Your favorite hot sauce to taste
black pepper to taste
buns or bread or rice
Crumble tofu into non stick frying pan (or use an oil spray, or a little oil). Add onion, pepper, and nutritional yeast. Saute all three until tofu begins to brown (this part takes a while, but you don't need to brown if you don't want to). Add other ingredients, except buns. Simmer 10 minutes, stirring.
Serve on vegan bread or rice or buns.
Notes: you can add minced or grated carrot, leave out the vegetables, add minced celery, adjust the sweetening, whatever...
SO HOW'D IT GO?
this was really good. i added a tablespoon more of nutritional yeast and a few splashes of worcestershire sauce (because everything tastes better with extra nutritional yeast and worcestershire sauce...right?...or is that just me?) i also added red pepper flakes and loads of serrano pepper hot sauce.
I made this recipe because of all the great reviews it got and it was NASTY!!! Ick, what a waste of ingredients!!!!! >:(
I made the sauce as written but thought it was a little too sweet so I added 1/2 teaspoon each of: cumin, chili powder, red pepper flakes, oregano. This added some spice/heat and cut down on the sweetness. Very, very tasty!! It was even better the next day!
Really good!
EXCELLENT!!! and i don't even like sloppy joes
This recipe is fantastic!! My changes:
1 lb Boca crumbles instead of tofu (had it both ways and I liked it much better that way), no sugar, 2 cups ketsup, diced mushrooms, no nutritional yeast.
