• 1 cup Vegetable broth
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 2 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium Green bell pepper, diced
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 cup Tomato sauce
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder

Directions

Step 1

In a heatproof bowl, combine the TVP with the vegetable broth. Stir well and let it sit for 5-10 minutes to rehydrate.

Step 2

While the TVP is rehydrating, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and diced green bell pepper, and cook for another 2-3 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the rehydrated TVP. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

Add the tomato paste and mix well to coat the TVP. Stir in the tomato sauce, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, paprika, chili powder, smoked paprika (if using), salt, and black pepper. Mix everything thoroughly.

Step 6

Simmer the mixture on low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors meld and the mixture thickens slightly.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more salt, pepper, or spices if desired.

Step 8

Toast the hamburger buns if preferred, and spoon the sloppy joe mixture generously onto the bottom halves of the buns.

Step 9

Top with any desired toppings, such as pickles, vegan coleslaw, or diced onions, and place the other bun halves on top.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy your TVP Vegan Sloppy Joes!
