Vegan Trueben (v) Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Tofu

   Press the firm tofu to remove excess moisture. Slice it into 1/2 inch thick slabs.

2. 2

   Smoke the Tofu

   Using a stovetop smoker or a grill with wood chips, smoke the tofu slabs for about 20 minutes until infused with smoke flavor.

3. 3

   Make the 1000 Island Dressing

   In a bowl, combine vegan mayonnaise, ketchup, Dijon mustard, pickle relish, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well blended.

4. 4

   Assemble the Sandwich

   Spread a layer of the 1000 Island dressing on two slices of marble rye. Layer with smoked tofu, vegan mozzarella, and sauerkraut. Top with the other two slices of bread.

5. 5

   Grill the Sandwich

   Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwiches in the skillet and grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

6. 6

   Serve

   Slice the sandwiches in half and serve warm with extra sauerkraut or dressing on the side.
