RECIPE OF THE MONTH CRISPY BBQ TOFU SANDWICH

Creamy Cilantro Slaw: • 4 oz shredded cabbage • 1/4 c cilantro, chopped • 1/4 c red onion, thinly sliced • 3–4 tbsp vegan mayo • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Ingredients: • 1 block tofu- organic, extra firm, drained • 2 tbsp olive oil or coconut oil • salt & pepper to taste • 1/4 c BBQ sauce • 1 tsp chili paste or sriracha • brioche buns • avocado

Directions: Drain the block of tofu, pat dry, and cut into one-inch-thick slabs. Trim if needed to fit the bun. You can get 2, maybe 3 out of one block. Pat dry again. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil, and sprinkle the salt and pepper over the oil. Once the pepper is fragrant, carefully add the tofu. Sear until crispy and deeply golden- do not move it around in the pan, let it develop a crust, so it will release itself. Lower heat if splattering- this will take about 12 minutes. Mix the BBQ sauce and red chili paste in a small bowl and set aside. Place the shredded cabbage in a medium bowl, add onions and cilantro, mayo, vinegar, and salt, and toss to combine well. Toast the buns and slice the avocado. Once the tofu is nice and crispy, lower the heat to low, and add the BBQ sauce mixture, coating the tofu well. Let it caramelize just slightly in the pan, and turn the heat off. Assemble the sandwich. Spread more mayo on the bottom bun if you like, add the hot tofu, and top with cool slaw and a few slices of avocado.
