@ellysplate: Deli slices… out of tofu?!? Welcome back to OG Vegan, this tofu ‘bacon’ is a certified classic. Meal preppable, and one small tweak to make gluten free 😌 Makes 3 ‘BLT’s For the bacon 1 block extra firm tofu 3 tbsp tamari 2 tbsp maple syrup 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar 1 tbsp olive oil 1 tbsp smoked paprika 1 tsp garlic granules Pinch smoked salt (optional) To serve (per sando) 2 slices sourdough (of GF bread) 2 tbsp vegan mayo 1 salad tomato, sliced 2 leaves lettuce Whisk together the tamari, maple syrup, balsamic vinegar, oil, garlic granules and smoked paprika in a shallow dish and season with smoked salt. Slice the tofu into thin rashers using a mandolin or peeler and add into the marinade, mix until all slices are fully covered. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium high heat. Add the tofu in a single layer, working in batches if needed, and cook until deep golden and caramelised (this will only take a minute or two) before flipping and repeating on the other side. Toast the bread, then spread the vegan mayo generously over both slices. Layer up the lettuce on the bottom slice, followed by the tomato, then pile on the tofu bacon. Top with the second slice, press down gently and serve straight away.
