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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the rehydrated TVP to the skillet, stirring well to combine with the vegetables.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet with the TVP and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly.

Step 7

Simmer the mixture over low heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened and the flavors have melded.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful homemade TVP Sloppy Joes!
