½Head cauliflowerapproximately 400g, broken into florets
180gramsFirm tofu grated
¼-½tspBlack Himalayan salt
¼tspTurmeric
4Stalks of spring onionchopped
2-3tbspVegan mayo*
1tspDijon mustard
8Slices of sandwich bread or 4 baguettes
Greens as desired
Instructions
Bring water to boil in a medium pot. Add cauliflower florets and cook them for about 10-15 minutes. The texture should be soft enough to easily pierce with a fork but firm enough to maintain its integrity. Drain the water and allow the cauliflower to cool.
Heat the frying pan over medium heat. Add tofu, black salt and turmeric. Cook it for about 10 minutes, stirring regularly. Allow it to cool down.
Once cauliflower is cool enough to handle, chop it into small pieces.
In a mixing bowl, combine cauliflower, tofu, spring onions, vegan mayonnaise, and Dijon mustard. Give it a good mix.
To assemble a sandwich, simply add your “egg” filling and your favourite greens.
Notes
If you don’t have access to store-bought vegan mayo, you can replace it with a mixture of 2-3 tbsp of coconut yoghurt and 1 tbsp of nutritional yeast.Store the filling separately from the bread. Sandwich tastes best when it’s assembled just before serving.
