TOFU SLOPPY JOES

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.

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (12 ounce) package extra firm tofu
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cup chopped onion
½ cup green bell pepper, chopped
1 ½ cups ketchup
2 tablespoons white sugar
3 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard
3 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
salt to taste
4 whole wheat hamburger buns, split and toasted

Steps:

  • Place the block of tofu onto a plate, then place another plate on top. Set a 3 to 5 pound weight on top (a container filled with water works well). Press the tofu for 20 to 30 minutes, the drain off and discard the accumulated liquid.
  • Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
  • Cut the block of tofu down the middle, then widthwise into 1/4 inch thick squares. Arrange on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 6 minutes, the turn the pieces over, and continue baking 5 minutes more. Remove the baking sheet from the oven, and allow to cool. Once the tofu is cool enough to handle, cut into 1/4 inch dice.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion and green pepper; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the diced tofu, ketchup, sugar, mustard, and vinegar; season to taste with salt. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer for 10 minutes. Serve on the whole wheat hamburger buns.
