Ingredients

• 200g smoked tofu
• 2 wholemeal rolls
• 100g lettuce leaves
• 1 tomato
• 2 tbsp hummus (made with olive oil, no seed oils)

Method

You’ll need: frying pan · chopping board · knife

1. Cut the smoked tofu into two thick slices and pat them dry with a cloth.
2. Fry the tofu slices in a hot non-stick frying pan without oil on both sides until crisp.
3. Halve the wholemeal rolls and toast the cut sides for 1 min in the residual heat of the pan.
4. Spread the bottom halves of the rolls generously with the hummus and top with the lettuce.
5. Add the tofu slices and thin tomato slices and close the burgers.

Good to know

Crispy tofu and dark wholemeal rolls turn this into a hearty plant-based burger.

Swaps

Hummus → guacamole (if chickpeas don't agree with you, spread a fresh mashed avocado on the roll as a creamy substitute).

Cooking tips

Press the tofu down very firmly in the pan with a spatula while frying, so it develops a much crisper crust.

Storage

Uncooked smoked tofu keeps for weeks. Once fried and in the bun, though, the roll goes soggy, so eat the burger straight away.

Allergens

Contains soya, sesame (in the hummus) and gluten. For a completely gluten-free version, you'll need to choose special rolls.
