Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP)
- 1 cup Vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 1 medium Bell pepper, finely chopped (any color)
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon Mustard
- 1 tablespoon Vegan Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Burger buns
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the TVP and vegetable broth. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes, or until the TVP has absorbed the broth and softened. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper, and sauté for 5-6 minutes, or until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the rehydrated TVP to the skillet, stirring well to combine with the vegetables.
In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, tomato paste, mustard, vegan Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, smoked paprika, chili powder, maple syrup, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet with the TVP and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly.
Simmer the mixture over low heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened and the flavors have melded.
Toast the burger buns if desired. Spoon a generous amount of the TVP mixture onto the bottom halves of the buns, then top with the other halves.
Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful homemade TVP Sloppy Joes!
