Vegetarian Sloppy Bos
This sloppy "bo" is a fun, delicious, and vegetarian twist on sloppy joes. In place of ground meat in tomato sauce, this sandwich is filled with a plant-based tofu Bolognese sauce. Made with super-firm tofu, Nasoya Plantspired’s Classic Bolognese Sauce has the same meaty texture of ground beef, making it an ideal replacement for any animal protein. Rich and satisfying, this healthy spin on sloppy joes delivers the same great taste even meat lovers will enjoy! Find the video, recipe, and printable recipe PDF below!

Method
Heat the olive oil in a saucepot. Add the garlic and chile flakes, cook on low until lightly toasted. Add the diced pepper and sauté for 1 minute. Add the Bolognese Sauce and bring to a low simmer. Cook for 5 minutes or until the liquid has evaporated and the mixture has thickened. Stir in the herb and adjust seasoning and hold warm.
Brush both sides of the bun with olive oil and toast in a pan.
Heat a non-stick pan over low heat. Add a little oil and the egg. Cook until the egg is set. Season with salt.
To Assemble: Place the bottom bun on a plate. Top with a generous portion of the Bolognese mixture. Place a few slices of pepperoncini on top.
Place a fried egg on top of the Bolognese and cover with the top bun.
Variation: For sliders, use quail eggs.
Add chopped or sliced mushrooms with the peppers and sauté until tender.
Note: for a vegan version, eliminate the egg and use a vegan bun.
