I love tempeh bacon. Tofu mimicking bacon makes my mouth water. Each has their own unique flavors and textures – and I’ve admittedly been a bit obsessed about bacon-esque tastes for a while now. So when I ran across a recipe where I could assemble my own fake-on entirely from scratch, I tried it immediately. It’s totally unique, deliciously salty, smoky and sweet. I offer up this sandwich not so much for the combination of ingredients – do what you will between your slices of bread – but to send you to this creative vegan, beany “bacon” recipe, which I found at Ordinary Vegetarian.
Vegetarian Bacon Sandwich
Serves 2
6 or so slices of homemade bean bacon
4 slices whole grain bread
sandwich fixin’s: avocado, tomato slices, sliced onion, fresh arugula, tofu mayo, sprouts
Put it all together, nestle up next to some chips or crunchy, raw veggies. Don’t forget dessert. Might I humbly suggest a slice of Chocolate Creme Pie or a warm Peanut Butter & Banana Muffins?
And…My delicious breakfast this morning was inspired by this post on The Veggie Nook. The flavors appealed to me as did the use of oatmeal to add thickness to this smoothie. I had neither chia nor hemp seeds, but topping the smoothie with roasted walnuts and cacao nibs added a nice crunch. I paired it with a bowl of fresh fruit and a slice of cracked wheat bread topped with natural PB and a banana. I’m stuffed! Thanks, Gabby!
