Sandwich With Mexican Tofu Spread And Grilled Zucchini Food

TOFU SANDWICH SPREAD

Steps:

• Start by pressing the tofu - place the block on one dinner plate and put another plate on top, upside down. Add some heavy items to the top of the stack like a couple of cast iron frying pans. Allow to sit for at least 20 minutes, dumping water into sink a few times during the process.
• Meanwhile, prepare other ingredients as directed and mix all together. Remove the tofu from the plate and cut it into ½-inch cubes. Add to the mixture and gently stir until ingredients are just combined. Serve on toasted wheat bread or in a wheat pita with sprouts.

GRILLED ZUCCHINI AND MEXICAN TOFU SANDWICH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Cut off the stems and navels from the zucchini and cut lengthwise into 1/8-inch-thick slices. Lightly brush 2 baking sheets with olive oil. Place the zucchini slices on the sheets and brush the tops lightly with more olive oil. Bake in the preheated oven until soft but not browned, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
• Combine all the ingredients for the filling, including tofu spread, basil, salt and pepper to taste, in a bowl. Using a wooden spoon, beat until smooth.
• Place a teaspoonful of filling at the wider end of each zucchini slice and roll up the slice. Fix rolls with chives. (Optional).
• Sprinkle with lemon juice.
