Mushroom sloppy Joes (vegan)
Serves 4
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, thinly sliced
3 garlic cloves, minced
6 cups sliced mushrooms
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon grainy mustard
1 tablespoon Soya Sauce
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 cup of water
Salt and pepper, to taste
1. In a large frying pan, sauté the onions, garlic and mushrooms together. Once the onions soften, add the remaining ingredients. Continue to cook until the mushrooms are tender, about 15 minutes. Add water as necessary if the mixture becomes dry. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
2. Add the mixture to your favorite bun and any topping you enjoy. I added avocado slices and spinach.
3. If you have leftovers, reheat in a pan, adding a few tablespoons of water. The mushrooms do absorb the liquid, so a little water will be required to keep these vegan sloppy Joes saucy!
