Ingredients
Chipotle Mushroom Sloppy Joes
- 1 1 tablespoon oil
- 2 2 medium onions minced
- 1 1 lb crimini or button mushrooms minced
- 3 3 cloves garlic
- ½ ½ cup tomato paste or a 5.5-ounce can
- 1 1 bottle light beer preferably a lager
- 1 1 cup chopped walnuts
- 2 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce vegan if needed
- 2 2 tablespoons chipotle peppers in adobo sauce see notes
- 2 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 4 4 hamburger buns
The Slaw
- 2 2 cups shredded purple cabbage
- 1 1 medium carrot grated
- ¼ ¼ cup Thinly sliced red onion
- A handful of chopped cilantro
- olive oil to drizzle
Chipotle Aioli
- ¼ ¼ cup mayonnaise vegan if needed
- 1 1 tablespoon chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- Juice from ¼ lime
- A pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until they are well browned, about 10 minutes. Add the mushrooms and increase the heat to medium-high. Let the mushrooms cook until most of the liquid has been evaporated. (This happens much faster on higher heat. About 10 minutes.) Once the pan is mostly dry, reduce the heat to medium, add the garlic, and cook until the mushrooms have browned, about 5 minutes more.
- While the mushrooms are cooking, prepare the veggies for the slaw and drizzle them with the oil. Also, mix the chipotle aioli ingredients together in a small bowl.
- Move the mushrooms to the side of the pan and add the tomato paste. Let it caramelize, stirring frequently, for about 3 minutes. Pour in the beer and scrape any stuck on bits off the bottom of the pan.
- Add the walnuts, Worcestershire sauce, chipotle peppers, chili powder, and sea salt to the pan. Adjust the sea salt to taste.
- Serve the Chipotle Mushroom Sloppy Joes on the buns and topped with some slaw and chipotle aioli.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- When we buy jars of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, we blend them in a small blender and then keep the puree in a clean jar in the fridge. They are easier to use this way and last for a very long time.
