BLT with Truffle Mayo

1/2 block firm tofu
2 tbsp oil
2 tbsp maple syrup
2 tbsp liquid smoke
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
salt and pepper
lettuce leaves
1/2 tomato, sliced
Your favourite BBQ sauce – I use Stubbs
1 tbsp vegan mayo

Two slices bread of your choosing

To make bacon:

1. Combine oil, maple, liquid smoke, soy sauce, garlic, paprika and salt and pepper in a tupperware container.

2. Thinly slice block of firm tofu and put in tupperware container. Ideally, you want this to marinate in the fridge for around a day but you can gently shake it around a bit and make immediately.

3. In pan, fry slices of tofu in oil until browned. Set aside on paper towel while you prepare the rest. Don’t wash that pan yet.

4. Combine mayo and truffle salsa.

5. Wash and dry lettuce, slice tomato.

6. To serve: Toast slices of bread in remaining oil from frying the tofu bacon. Layer: one slice of toast, BBQ sauce, lettuce, tomato, bacon, truffle mayo, salt and pepper, second slice of toast.
