T,L,T Sandwich

When I was eating meat one of my FAVORITE  sandwiches was a BLT. I have been able to replace this with my new favorite TLT sandwich. (Tempeh, Lettuce, and Tomato)

• Tempeh sliced
• Tomato
• Lettuce
• Bread (your choice of regular or Gluten Free- I have used Gluten Free)
• Veganaise (well the amount is up to you!)
• 1 1/2 tablespoons of Grade A Maple Syrup
• 1 Tablespoon cold pressed olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon onion
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
• dash of cayenne
• 1 teaspoon tamari

 

Ok, so let’s start with the Tempeh. It will come in a rectangular block so you can decide if you would like to make horizontal or vertical strips. I wanted mine to fit nicely on my sandwich so I went with smaller strips. Slice thinly and place in mixing bowl.  Combine maple syrup, tamari, and seasonings and toss with tempeh.

Heat frying pan with either a little olive oil or coconut oil. Brown tempeh slices.

Toast your bread slices and slather up your bread with Veganaise . Top with tempeh, lettuce, and tomato.
