Ingredients
For the coronation tofu salad:
- 200 g (~ 7 oz) firm tofu, drained
- 1 tbsp oil
- 1 spring onion, chopped
- Few sprigs fresh coriander (cilantro), chopped
- 1/2 tbsp raisins or sultanas
- 1 tbsp mayonnaise (or vegan mayonnaise)
- 1/2 tsp mild curry powder
- Salt
- Black pepper
To assemble:
- 4 slices bread
- Small handful salad leaves
- 1 large tomato, sliced
Instructions
- Grate the block of tofu using the large holes on a standard cheese grater. Heat a dash of oil in a frying pan, and add the grated tofu. Cook over a medium heat for around 5 minutes, stirring regularly. You don't want the tofu to become overly browned or crispy, just to firm up and turn a light golden colour. When cooked, set aside to cool.
- Add the cooled tofu to a bowl, along with the remaining coronation tofu ingredients. Mix well to combine. The tofu salad will keep well in the fridge for 3 days.
- When ready, assemble the sandwiches with salad leaves and slices of tomato, topped with the coronation tofu.
