In commemoration of the lady spring, whose graceful fingers are just poking up through the soil, here is a vegan version of the best sandwich I've ever eaten, which involved fresh slices of mozzarella cheese. I am delighted to announce that none of its original deliciousness was lost in translation.
Ingredients:
1 package lite firm tofu
1 ripe tomato
1 batch easy vegan pesto (recipe below)
Hummus (optional)
Bread of choice
Easy Vegan Pesto:
* 1 1/2 cups fresh basil
* 1/3 cup olive oil
* 1 cup walnuts
* 3-5 cloves garlic
* Salt and pepper to taste
Combine all ingredients except olive oil in food processor. Blend til smooth. Add olive oil and blend again.
CONSTRUCTING THE SANDWICH:
1. Toast two pieces of your bread of choice (I used a lovely fresh ciabatta, but no doubt a nice multigrain would prove quite satisfactory).
2. Spread both sides with a generous dollop of the incredible pesto you have just made.
*For extra creaminess, I highly recommend adding a thick layer of your favorite hummus on top.
3. Thinly slice tomato, arrange artistically on top of spreads.
4. Cut thin slices of tofu and press between two napkins to drain extra water. Place on top of tomato.
Oooh baby. You have just made yourself one tasty little sandwich.
