20 minREADY
40 minTofu crumbles absorb savory tamari and tomato sauce while mushrooms and grated carrot add meaty texture.
Garlic and fresh parsley brighten the filling so it tastes fresh rather than heavy.
Stuff it all into warm pita bread for a protein-packed vegetarian sandwich that even meat-eaters will crave.
Kitchen Tips
- Press tofu for 15 minutes before crumbling to remove excess moisture
- Use firm or extra-firm tofu for the best texture that mimics ground meat
- Grate carrot on the large holes of a box grater for quick-cooking shreds
- Add a splash of hot sauce or cayenne if you like your sloppy joes spicy
