Another tofu recipe, making the perfect weekend brunch. Crispy shavings of tofu on top of creamy avocado and sweet tomatoes.
The tomatoes need to be really ripe
Gails seeded sourdough or Ole & Steen Skagen work well here, but any really good quality bread is good
250g firm tofu
A pinch of paprika powder
Olive oil
2 large, ripe tomatoes
A few picked oregano leaves
1 ripe avocado
Juice of half a lime
Mixed seeds - Pumpkin, sunflower, sesame
A drizzle of soy sauce
2 slices of good quality sourdough
Sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Slice the tofu extremely thinly using a vegetable peeler or mandolin. Add the paprika and a drizzle of olive oil, mix gently, then roast in the oven at 200ᵒC for 30 minutes, or in an air fryer for 20 minutes, turning gently twice during the process. They should be crispy and brown on the edges Slice the tomatoes thickly, then place into a hot pan with a tablespoon of olive oil. Fry over a high heat until starting to char, then turn and char the other side. Season with salt, pepper, then add the oregano once taken off the heat Toast the seeds in a dry frying pan until they start to brown and pop. Remove from heat and add a few drops of soy sauce Peel and stone the avocado and mash with the lime juice and a pinch of salt Toast the bread then top with the avocado, then the charred tomato slices. Top with a handful of the crispy tofu and a scattering of the toasted seeds
