Impossible Sloppy Joes
Plant-based sloppy joes with peppers, onions, garlic, tomato sauce, and warm spices.
Ingredients
Base
- 2 tbsp avocado oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1 can tomato sauce
- 2 tbsp vegan Worcestershire sauce
- 1 package Impossible meat, thawed
Seasoning
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
Instructions
1
Prepare vegetables
Dice onion, garlic, and bell pepper.
2
Cook vegetables
Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion and bell pepper and cook until they start to brown and caramelize, about 10 minutes.
3
Add garlic
Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1–2 minutes. If the pan is low on oil or drying out, add a splash of water.
4
Build sauce
Add tomato sauce, sugar, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, cumin, and smoked paprika. Let it cook in for about 1 minute.
5
Cook impossible beef
Create a well in the vegetables, add a splash of oil to the bare center of the pan, and add thawed impossible beef. Break it up and cook until the red color is gone, then stir everything together.
6
Serve
Spoon onto toasted buns and serve immediately.
Notes
- Cook the vegetables until they get color; that is where the flavor starts.
