Tofu Bacon BLTs
Calories:
Ingredients
For the tofu bacon:
- 200 g firm tofu (enough for 4 thin slices)
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp chipotle sauce (or similar smoky hot sauce)
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- Black pepper
- 1 tbsp oil
To assemble the tofu bacon BLTs:
- 4 slices bread
- 1 tsp mustard (optional)
- leaves A few lettuce
- 1 large tomato, sliced
Instructions
- Cut the tofu into 4 thin slices. Press the tofu - if you don't have a tofu press, just lay out the slices inside a clean tea towel, and top with something heavy (I usually use a few large saucepans or cookbooks). Leave for at least a few minutes - a bit longer if you have time.
- In a suitably sized baking dish, combine the maple syrup, soy sauce, chipotle sauce, smoked paprika, and plenty of black pepper. Mix well. When the tofu has been pressed, transfer it to the baking dish, and make sure it's well coated in the marinade. Leave to marinate for a few minutes (again, longer is better if you have more time).
- Heat the oil in a frying pan, and add the marinated tofu. Pour over any leftover marinade. Cook over a medium heat for around 5 minutes each side, or until the tofu is firm and crispy.
- If desired, serve in a tofu bacon BLT sandwich, with mustard, lettuce and tomato.
