CHICKPEA SLOPPY JOES

Steps:

• Warm the oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Add the onions and stir. Spread out the onions evenly so that they are making as much contact with the pan as possible.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook the onions, stirring occasionally, for about 45 minutes or until significantly reduced in size and brown in color. Season to taste with salt.
• Meanwhile, warm the oil over medium heat in a saucepan. Add the garlic and bell pepper and a pinch of salt, and stir. Cook for about 3 minutes, until the bell pepper has started to release liquid.
• Add the diced carrot and cook for another 3-5 minutes or until the carrot has softened slightly. Add the spices (paprika through pepper), stir, and cook for another 60 seconds, or until fragrant.
• Add the rest of the filling ingredients, plus 2 tbsp of water, and stir. Cover the pan and reduce the heat to medium-low. Gently simmer for about 20 minutes, while stirring occasionally, until the flavors have melded and the carrots are done to your liking.
• Season with additional salt, pepper, and hot sauce to taste.
• For each person who is eating, toast a sandwich bun. Top with about 1/3 cup of filling (depending on how sloppy you want to be...), caramelized onions, and other toppings of choice. Enjoy!
