When you think of cauliflower, you may think, “bleh”. The only cauliflower I ate growing up was boiled and buttered and boring. But cauliflowers don’t have to be boiled, buttered and boring. They can be so exciting even meat-eating truckers will love it. And so, will you. So let’s focus today’s meal on a new way sloppy joe. Love sloppy joes? Want to experiment? Want to add a bit of veggies to your diet? Make yourself some cauliflower sloppy joes tonight!

HOW TO MAKE CAULIFLOWER SLOPPY JOE
Roughly chop up your cauliflower – make them chunky with small bits. Heat olive oil in a pan. Add onion, pepper and garlic, sautéing for 5 to 8 minutes. Add the cauliflower, strained tomatoes, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, liquid smoke, mustard, sugar, salt and pepper. Sauté and lower heat. Leave uncovered and simmer for about forty minutes. Stir often and add a bit of water if it starts to stick. Once your sauté is thick and your cauliflower bits are tender, it is ready! Then put it on a bun and get ready for the ride of your life! Add some potato chips on the side. (Best served to truckers who love a sloppy joe!)
