Tofu Sloppy Joes

Submitted by:Rachel Gargano

I originally thought there's no way the words tofu and sloppy joe could go together but after trying this recipe I now know they're a great pair! Tofu crumbles very nicely, picking up savory flavors and seasoning easily. This recipe is perfect for a sandwich (in a post-workout grain window), over some spaghetti squash, or topping a salad.

TIP: Be sure to have plenty of napkins on hand!

Ingredients

  • 1 block firm tofu
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 cup parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 cup catsup
  • 1/4 cup spaghetti sauce
  • 1 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp jalapeno, minced
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp brown sugar
  • 2 tsp cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 6 slices whole wheat bread
  • 1 tsp chili powder

Instructions

  1. Mash the tofu in a medium bowl and set aside.
  2. In a large saute pan or wok, saute garlic in olive oil until fragrant - about 3 minutes. Then add mashed tofu and jalapeno. Cook for about 5 minutes.
  3. Add all other ingredients and cook for about 5 to 8 minutes, stirring frequently. Until most liquid is absorbed but the mixture is still sloppy.
  4. Serve on toasted whole grain bread, over a salad or over spaghetti squash - with plenty of napkins!
