Breakfast Sloppy Moes
This is a hearty, delicious, satisfying meal! I serve these for breakfast for a fun twist on the traditional Sloppy Joe, but you can serve them anytime, and dress them anyway you want! 92 calories per 1/3 cup.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
- 1/2 white onion diced
- 1/2 green bell pepper diced
- 1 big garlic clove
- 1 cup uncooked yellow split peas
- 3-4 cups veggie broth
- 1 cup tomato puree not tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon vegan Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons prepared mustard
- 1 dried ancho chili
- 1 bay leaf
- Waffles *see note below recipe for the best homemade waffle mix
- Vegan egg or tofu scramble I use Just Egg
- Vegan mayo
- Hot sauce
Instructions
- I recommend making this the night before so you can have it ready for the morning. Heat a medium sized pot over medium heat. Add the oil, onion, and pepper, and saute until soft and browning a little (about 8 minutes.)
- Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Add the split peas, 3 cups broth, tomato puree, Worcestershire, mustard, chili, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer for 30-60 minutes, stirring occasionally. Note: I like to cook yellow split peas for longer than most recipes recommend. Check at 30 minutes and see if they're cooked to your desired texture. Add a cup more broth if you'd like to keep cooking them (I do.)
- Throughout the cooking process, check for doneness, make sure they're not sticking to the bottom, and add more broth or water as needed. When done, squeeze the guts out of the chili into the pot to make it spicy.
- I serve these on a freshly made waffle slathered with veganaise and hot sauce, topped with scrambled Just Egg, 1/3 cup of the Sloppy Moe mixture, and garnished with dried herbs. You can dress them however you want, serve them on toast, English muffins, burger buns, rice, or eat it out of a bowl!
