Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Firm tofu
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 6 slices Whole grain bread
- 4 tablespoons Hummus
- 1 cup Baby spinach
- 1 medium Tomato
- 0.5 medium Cucumber
- 1 medium Avocado
- 0.5 cup Alfalfa sprouts
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Press the tofu to remove excess moisture by wrapping it in a clean kitchen towel and placing a heavy object on top for about 10 minutes.
Slice the tofu into thin rectangles (about 1/4 inch thick).
In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, smoked paprika, and olive oil. Brush the tofu slices generously with the marinade.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook the tofu slices for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and slightly crisp.
While the tofu is cooking, toast the slices of whole grain bread until golden and set aside.
Spread 1 tablespoon of hummus on one side of each slice of bread.
Slice the tomato, cucumber, and avocado thinly.
Assemble each sandwich: Start with a slice of bread (hummus side up), layer spinach, two slices of cooked tofu, tomato slices, cucumber slices, and alfalfa sprouts. Sprinkle lightly with salt and black pepper.
Top with a second slice of bread (hummus side down), then repeat the layering process for a taller club sandwich if desired.
Finish with a final slice of bread (hummus side down). Secure the sandwich with toothpicks if necessary and slice diagonally to serve.
Enjoy your high-protein veggie club sandwich immediately!
