Hi everyone,
I was all enthusiastic about making Heather's Sloppy Joes recipe today. Then I realised I didn't have any celery. I decided I would make them anyway and throw in some grated carrot instead.
I had all the other ingredients ready to go and the onion and carrot were getting nice and tender in the wok when I realised the recipe contained a can of tomato sauce.
I don't tolerate tomatoes too well so then I was stuck wondering what to do and whether to throw out what I'd already done or not.
Anyway, I decided that since I had come this far I may aswell continue and if it was a disaster then so be it.
I substituted for the tom sce by adding 1/2c BBQ sce, 1/2c water and 1T worcestershire sce.
It turned out great!
So I thought I'd share this for anyone else who struggles with tomato or would just like to try a variation from the regular recipe.
BTW, it was the first time I've tried TVP and I was very pleasantly surprised. I'm already thinking of other ways I can use it now. If you haven't tried it you should!
