I don't recall ordering this cookbook from Amazon but I'm so glad I did. The cookbook is called Vegan Junk Food by Lane Gold. No meat. No Dairy. I know right? She is a vegan chef here in Los Angeles. I was trying to find out where but I couldn't find that information.
This cookbook has everything from breakfast to deli favorites. Comfort food to bread. Vegan party essentials and dips to all kinds of sweet things. Don't let the title fool you. Although it is "junk food" I don't know too many junk foods with ingredients like carrots, pumpkins and fresh cilantro and parsley. Seriously. Last night I stopped by my local Whole Foods and picked up some ingredients I didn't already have and spent less than $25 for dinner. I adjusted for my own tastes.
Sloppy Joes
serves 4
1/2 cup Bob's Red Mill TVP
2 cups water
3 tsps vegetable bouillon base
1 tsp vegan beef bouillon base
1 tbsp oil
1/2 chopped onion
1/4 cup finely chopped carrot (to save time I went to my favorite section and bought already shredded carrot)
1 chopped garlic clove (I used minced so like WHATEV)
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
2 tbsps brown sugar
2 tsps balsamic vinegar
1 tsp Annie's vegan worcestshire sauce
4 tbsps tomato paste
1 cup tomato sauce
Rudi's whole wheat hamburger buns
heat the water and add the vegetable and beef bouillon base to a boil.
add the TVP and stir a little bit and let it rest for 10 minutes
over medium heat, saute onions and carrots in oil until onions are translucent.
adjust the heat so it doesn't burn.
add garlic and cook for 1 minute.
drain the TVP reserving the liquid. use a wooden spoon or spatula and squeeze out the excess liquid.
add TVP to the vegetables and cook for about 5 minutes.
add all other ingredients except the buns and stir.
add 1/2 cup of reserved liquid and bring to a boil.
turn heat down to medium and cook for 10 minutes.
spoon the joes onto your buns and enjoy.
This you can you freeze so go ahead and double the ingredients. It was so good I wish I had leftovers for lunch.
On the go but makes time to make yummy meals at home w/the kids, hang out with them and chauffeur them to everything from dance class to auditions.
