Meatless Monday: Sloppy No's

Today's Meatless Monday post is an original recipe by the ECM's dear husband. With a craving for sloppy joe's and a penchant for eating well this time of year, what's a man to do but make a few substitutions? I must say, I'm pretty proud of him. Try this recipe for yourself and let us know what you think!

by Eric Asche

Prep time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 15 minutes

1 cup vegetarian ground "beef" crumbles (add more if you desire a thicker consistency)
1 cup garbanzo beans

1/2 cup water
1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
1 small jalapeno, finely chopped (remove seeds)
2 or 3 garlic bulbs for a little extra flavor, finely chopped
Healthy dose of Salt / Pepper, to taste

Directions:
1: Combine ingredients in medium saucepan
2: Bring mixture to a boil
3: Reduce heat to low, cover and let cook for 10-15 minutes, or until onion is tender (remove cover to thicken)
