Cook Time: 5 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4


• 5 cups van's veat bites, diced (available at www.veat.com)


• 1 onion, diced


• 3 tablespoons olive oil (for cooking)


• 6 garlic cloves, diced


• fresh gingerroot, finely diced


• 1 1/2 cups ketchup


• 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes


• 1 tablespoon tabasco sauce


• 2 tablespoons maple syrup


• 1/3 cup vinegar (you can use any kind... but i prefer balsamic.)


• salt and pepper, to taste

Recipe

• 1 (i cook all of this in my stove top wok.).


• 2 saute onions until they are clear and soft.


• 3 add ginger and garlic, saute on medium heat for about 3 minutes, making sure not to burn the garlic.


• 4 add the veat to the mixture, and make sure you have the onion/garlic/ginger mix dispersed evenly within the veat.


• 5 add ketchup, maple syrup, tabasco, vinegar, salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper to veat and stir well.


• 6 i am just guessing at these measurements. taste the mix now -- if it needs more of something then feel free to add it!


• 7 since there is no meat involved, the bbq does not have to cook for a certain amount of time, but i prefer eating mine hot, so i get it bubbling, and then serve on a bun!
