Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup California walnuts

  • 1-pound Portobello mushrooms, gills and stems removed

  • 2 tablespoons canola oil

  • 1 medium onion, chopped

  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1-1/2 cups ketchup

  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar

  • 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard

  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste

  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (or vegan Worcestershire)

  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 8 potato buns, toasted

Preparation

  1. Pulse the walnuts and mushrooms in a food processor in batches until it breaks down and resembles a ground beef texture.

  2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions, bell pepper, and minced garlic, and cook for 5 minutes or until the veggies soften.

  3. Add the walnuts/mushroom mixture to the skillet, stir so everything is well combined and let cook for 5 minutes.

  4. In a small bowl, combine ketchup, brown sugar, dry mustard, cayenne pepper, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, and apple cider vinegar, then add to the skillet. Stir everything together and let simmer for 5 minutes. Adjust with salt to taste.

  5. Serve the prepared sloppy joe mix on top of toasted buns. Serve immediately while still warm.
