I don't know about you, but I have missed the delicious, mouth watering taste of sloppy joes. Fortunately for us, there's a delicious vegan recipe for sloppy joes that tastes better than the original, if I do say so myself. The creamy texture of the filling will have you coming back for seconds, till it's gone!

This vegan recipe, just like every other vegan recipe of the day, is not one of my own, but one contributed by passionate vegans from the community. If you would like your recipe featured on my blog, please email it to jackalhead@live.com along with a picture of it.

Ingredients:

1. 2 tsp. apple cider vinegar

2. 1 cup finely chopped fresh or canned tomatoes

4. 2 tsp. dark brown sugar replacement

5. Salt to taste

6. 1/4 tsp. chili powder

7. 1 tbsp. mustard

8. 2 tbsp. sweet chili sauce

9. 1 onion, very finely chopped

10. 2 tsp. tomato paste

12. 2 baby chili peppers, finely chopped

13. 4 scallions (spring onions), chopped into 1/4 inch slices

Directions:

1. In a medium-sized skillet, heat up your olive oil over medium heat and fry half of your scallions until they become slightly brown.

2. Add in the chili peppers and fry for an additional 2 minutes.

3. Reduce the skillet to a simmer and toss in your remaining scallions, apple cider vinegar, tomatoes, ketchup, brown sugar replacement, salt chili powder, mustard, sweet chili sauce, onion and tomato paste. Stir together to mix well and then allow to simmer for 20 minutes.

4. Remove the skillet from the heat source and serve by scooping the filling into toasted buns.
