The Picano

So I make this sandwhich to remind myself of my friend Emily who is now living in Korea for a year, though I have never made it for her, I know she'd love it


*this recipe calls for a blender/food processor





Here is what you need:


Half an avocado

Half a brick of smoked tofu

Unsweetened Peanut butter ( really any nut butter will do)

olive oil

Fresh ginger

Soy sauce or Bragg's ( tamari would also do but I like it a little more salty)

Vegan chili garlic sauce (I love Huy Fong Sriracha, you can find basically at any grocery store)

cucumber

red peppers

oregano

fresh cilantro

garlic

Bread (I am partial to Ezekiel sprouted grain bread, but anything will do)

Vegan butter or lactose free margarine


Okay First things First

Make the Spicy PB ginger sauce for the tofu,

So combine in your blender (I use a Braun hand blender they're cheap and work great)

A large spoon full of Peanut butter, a splash of soy sauce, about 30ml of oil, a large piece of ginger (finely grated), 2 whole cloves garlic, fresh cilantro and chili sauce to taste.
blend until congruent

next take your tofu and slice into thin pieces. In a small bowl combine tofu and Pb sauce, let it sit for about 20mins.

while your tofu sits chop your veggies and about 3-4 more clove of garlic

Saute garlic in a pan on med to high heat, once slightly brown add tofu PB mix. Let that cook until the sauce starts to become crunchy, remove from heat. Toast and butter bread. mush avocado with a fork and spread one one piece of the bread, sprinkle with oregano and fresh cilantro. add tofu and veggies and enjoy!
