Sloppy Jonis (See what I did there?) (New!)
Weeknight meals made easy! Thanks to the use of the versatile TVP and everybody's favorite condiment...KETCHUP! You can replace the ketchup with barbecue sauce for a tangy twist. Either way, serve it up on a Soft White Bun.

Gluten-Free, Nut-Free

1 cup (96 g) TVP granules
1 cup (235 ml) veggie broth (No-Beef flavored vegetable broth works best here, but any will do)
1/4 cup (60 ml) vegetable oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup (40 g) finely diced onion
1/4 cup (40 g) finely diced green bell pepper
1 tablespoon (15 g) prepared yellow mustard
3/4 cup (204 g) ketchup
1 tablespoon (15 g) steak sauce
1 tablespoon (14 g) packed brown sugar
salt and pepper to taste

Reconstitute TVP by mixing together with veggie broth in a microwave safe dish, covering tightly with plastic wrap and micro waving on high for 5 to 6 minutes. Alternatively, you can bring the broth to a boil, pour over the TVP, mix, cover and let sit for 10 minutes.
In a frying pan, preheat oil over medium high heat.
Add onions and bell pepper. Sauté about 3 minutes. Add in garlic and continue to sauté for about 2 more minutes.
Reduce heat to low, add in reconstituted TVP, mustard, ketchup, steak sauce, and brown sugar.
Stir to coat, and heat through.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
Yield: 4 servings

You are SO vegan!
Replace the TVP with prepared green lentils for a more whole foods approach.
