This summer TLT sandwich is built with layers of smoky tofu deli slices, lettuce, thick tomato slices, and fresh mashed dill avocado spread. A taste of summer in each satisfying bite.

Summer TLT Sandwich

tbsp tamari

tbsp apple cider vinegar

vegetable broth

tsp liquid smoke (optional)

yeast (optional)

tsp smoked paprika

onion powder

tsp coriander

tsp allspice

white pepper

1, 16 oz block of super firm tofu, drained and pat dry

salt

avocado,

lime

dill,

ciabatta sandwich rolls

tomatoes

Lime wedges

To a large shallow bowl or container, add the tamari, maple syrup, vinegar, broth, olive oil, liquid smoke, nutritional yeast, paprika, garlic, onion, coriander, allspice, and white pepper then whisk to evenly mix.

Place the tofu on a cutting board, cut the block in half lengthwise. Place the tofu cut side down then thinly slice the tofu crosswise into thin 1/8-inch strips (1-2 mm thick) using a sharp knife.

Dip each strip of tofu into the marinade to coat both sides.

Heat some oil in a large griddle or large skillet over medium low heat (see notes for baking option). Arrange the tofu strips in a single layer on to the cooking surface with a little space between each slice. Cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes, then flip and cook again for 3-4 minutes (this will vary depending on how thick your tofu slices are). At this point, if the tofu is looking dry, I like to brush some of the remaining marinade on top of the tofu as it finishes cooking. The tofu is done once it is nicely browned and lightly crisp around the edges on both sides. Transfer the cooked slices to a plate, sprinkle with a pinch of salt if desired, then repeat with any remaining tofu slices.

For the avocado spread, add the avocado, lime zest and juice, dill, and a generous pinch of salt to a bowl then mash together with a fork until well combined.

To assemble, spread the mashed avocado onto both sides of the ciabatta roll then add a layer of tomato slices. Optionally, season the tomato with the juice of a wedge of lime, pinch of salt, and a small drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Top with the tofu strips and lettuce before topping with the bun and enjoying.
