Tofu Sloppy Joes image

My veggie version of an American favorite made with tofu. My boyfriend who recently turned vegetarian loved them and said the sauce was even better than store-bought. Hope you enjoy these tofu Sloppy Joes as much as we did! This recipe yields a lot of Sloppy Joe mix and is even better the next day. I serve these with a side of fresh corn on the cob and a salad.

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 medium yellow onion, diced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 pinch salt
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1 (12 ounce) can tomato sauce
½ cup ketchup
¼ cup water
4 tablespoons brown sugar
3 tablespoons barbeque seasoning
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce (such as Frank's RedHot®)
1 teaspoon paprika
1 pound firm tofu, drained and crumbled
2 medium zucchini, diced
½ (12 ounce) package vegetarian ground beef crumbles (such as MorningStar Farms®), thawed
12 (6 ounce) whole wheat hamburger buns, split and toasted

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and add diced onion. Cook until soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Add cumin and salt; saute until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
  • Add tomato paste and break up in the skillet, 1 to 2 minutes. Add tomato sauce, ketchup, water, brown sugar, barbeque seasoning, mustard, hot sauce, and paprika. Bring to a boil; lower heat and simmer, covered, for 15 minutes. Set aside.
  • Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a separate pan over medium-high heat. When heated, add tofu and zucchini and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Add vegetarian crumbles and sauce mixture and bring to a low simmer. Cover and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
  • Assemble Sloppy Joes on toasted buns.
