B.L.T. Components

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tempeh Bacon

    Slice the tempeh into thin strips. In a bowl, mix the bacon seasoning with a little water to create a marinade. Marinate the tempeh strips for about 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Tempeh

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a little oil and cook the marinated tempeh strips for about 5-7 minutes on each side, until crispy and golden brown.

  3. 3

    Make the Garlic Aioli

    Mince the garlic cloves and mix them with mayonnaise in a small bowl. Adjust seasoning to taste with salt and pepper.

  4. 4

    Toast the Ciabatta

    Spread butter on the ciabatta slices and toast them in a skillet or toaster until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Assemble the B.L.T.

    On one slice of toasted ciabatta, spread a generous amount of garlic aioli. Layer with lettuce, sliced tomato, crispy tempeh bacon, and alfalfa sprouts. Top with the second slice of ciabatta. Cut in half and serve.
