Vegetarian Sloppy Joes

• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1 red onion, coarsely chopped
• 2 carrots, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
• 1 zucchini, finely diced
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup canned no-salt-added tomato puree
• 12 cup barbecue sauce (see note)
• 15 ounces red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
• 4 hamburger buns

1. In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, heat the oil until hot but not smoking.
2. Add the onion and carrots and cook till the onion is softened, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the zucchini, paprika, basil, chili powder and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are crisp-tender, about 6 minutes.
4. Stir the tomato puree, barbecue sauce, beans and vinegar into the pan.
5. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook till the mixture is slightly thickened and the vegetables are crisp-tender, about 5 minutes.
6. Open the hamburger rolls and divide among 4 plates.
7. Spoon the vegetable mixture onto the hamburger rolls and serve.
8. Note: For the "beefiest" taste, use a barbecue sauce with a smoky flavor.
