Here’s my updated vegetarian version!\u00a0 A healthy Sloppy Joe!\u00a0 Enjoy this 5 Yum, Gourmet Feast.\u00a0 Like mother; like daughter!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Vegetarian Sloppy-Joe<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n

2 teaspoons virgin olive oil
\n1 sweet onion, coarsely chopped
\n2 carrots, cut in thin coin shapes
\n1 zucchini, diced
\n1 tablespoon fresh basil (dried if fresh is not available, but fresh is so much better)
\n1 teaspoon chili powder
\n5 cloves garlic, minced
\n1 (15 oz) can of diced tomatoes
\n1\/2 cup barbecue sauce
\n1 (15 oz.) can red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
\n1 tablespoon fig balsamic vinegar
\nsalt and pepper to taste
\n4 rolls of your choosing<\/p>\n

Directions: <\/strong><\/p>\n

In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, heat the oil until hot but not smokin’, not burnin.’
\nAdd the onion and carrots and cook until the onion is translucent (5 to 10 minutes).
\nAdd the zucchini, basil, chili powder and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are tender but not mushy, about 5 minutes or so.
\nStir the diced tomatoes, barbecue sauce, beans and vinegar into the pan.
\nReduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the mixture is slightly thickened.
\nMake sure the veggies don’t get too soft; crisp is better.
\nOpen the rolls, put a nice spoonful of the Sloppy Joe on the roll, put top on and serve!<\/p>\n

Note: <\/strong>BBQ Sauce – be sure to read the labels, because you know that BBQ sauce is more often than not loaded with sugar, salt, fat … calories!<\/p>\n
