Young Ed came over for the Super Bowl yesterday, and sandwiches abounded. I cooked up a batch of the Chicago Diner's Veggie Sloppy Joes, substituting a very nice seitan (albeit store-bought) for the tempeh that was called for. And though there was nothing seriously wrong with it, I was slightly disappointed by this recipe yet again. The Diner Cookbook is one of my all-time faves...most everything that is in it is a winner, but the sloppy joe misses the mark. The recipe essentially creates a BBQ seitan with a homemade sauce more than a traditional SJ, but said sauce is not as flavorful as it could be. The ingredients of the sauce are as follows...
ketchup, a lil mustard, chili powder, liquid smoke, s -n- p
What is it missing? What would you add? I'd say it definitely needs to be kicked up, Guy Fieri style, but also needs a little more depth of flavor. I thought slow cooking for several hours would help the flavors meld a little more, but it still needs a little something extra.
