I finally found my dream sandwich – it’s salty, sweet and totally unstoppable

Sometimes you have a desire for an intense sandwich that it makes you work in the rear drawers of your brain, traveling from childhood memories of walks, picnics and lunches in a box until you find it. For me, it was the flavor profile of a vegetarian sandwich in style health food from the west coast, dressed in favorites from the early 2000s, such as luzerne germs, shabby bread, roasted red peppers, spicy mustard and cucumber tiles. Not required, but pleasant for the atmosphere: the subtle fragrance of the plans of freshly pressed wheat grass and a pinch of psyllium pod on each surface.

Beyond the nostalgia factor, this sandwich is also a stealthy strategy for meal preparation. Although it is easy to assemble for a crowd, the baked tofu leaves, soft and salty can be made in advance and refrigerated up to five days – like cold meat for freshly assembled sandwiches throughout the week. A simple marinade of balsamic vinegar, maple syrup and soy sauce establishes a balance between salty, tangy and sweet, making it a versatile match for almost any sandwich.

The additional tofu is essential here for its low humidity content, which allows the edges of each slab the size of a sandwich to obtain the clear but soft texture which defined the tofu sandwichs of the early 2000s. It is not necessary to press the tofu – the leaves are thin enough for a tap between paper towels to be sufficient to eliminate any persistent humidity before being sprayed in the marinade. Because the tofu is decided, it absorbs the marinade flavor in just 30 minutes. If you want to plan in advance, you can marinate the slices overnight. Cooking works better for these delicate leaves, but the tofu is also delicious when grilled. Just cut the tofu block into thicker slabs so that it does not stick and does not collapse on the grill grids, and brush it with each turn.

While avocado, cucumber, roasted red peppers and germs evoke the most nostalgia for me, any mixture of your favorite tasty sandwich additions would work well here. Green -leaf and vegetables with marinated or radish carrots, a pinch of your favorite spicy sauce, or a swoosh of houmous would all make stellar additions.

As for the sandwich itself, it cannot be denied: it is large and responsible. Keep towels at hand for dribbles in your chin and your wrist. Wrap the sandwich and let him rest help him together, just like the weight of the toast, but a little mess can be inevitable. Again, isn’t that the pleasure of a very good sandwich?
