About

Time to get sloppy! I bet vegans eat sloppy joes at ten times the rate of omnivores. Do people even make sloppy joes with meat anymore? There are so many vegan versions out there, some with lentils, some with seitan, some that are made with raw ingredients that I don’t even want to think about. So I decided to do something a little special here. Shiitakes and adzuki beans provide toothsome, chewy texture that I think puts this sandwich a few rungs up from the other joes out there.
