The Joy of Vegan Eating: Perfection between two slices of bread

It certainly has been a while since I last posted! Fear not, I have not abandoned the Joy of Vegan Eating. I have been busy with schoolwork and......I set up my Vitamix! (trumpeting and drum roll please). First thing I made was falafel, then chocolate-hazelnut butter, then ice-cream. I'll post these recipes over the next month or so, as I perfect them.

Did anyone watch the royal wedding on Friday? I did. I absolutely loved Kate Middleton's dress! I knew she'd wear McQueen. Now all the Royal Family has to do to make me like them is to stop their fox-hunting and stag-hunting and fur-wearing and all that.

I'll stop jabbering now, and type out my recipe. This is actually the first non-dessert/sweet recipe on my blog. It's simple, scrumptious, delicious and I really should make it more often. The thing is, it's a bit harder than spreading peanut butter on bread, which is why I haven't eaten it recently. But you must try this! You will love me forever and wonder 'How did I live before I discovered tofu/tahini/sumac?'

Tofu-Tahini Sandwich Filling (for one sandwich)

50g firm tofu

20g tahini

lemon juice, to taste (maybe about a tablespoon? I just keep squeezing.)

salt

sumac

Mash all ingredients together. Serve on wholemeal bread with chopped baby spinach and red capsicum. Make double recipe, because you will crave another sandwich immediately after your first.

I usually use un-toasted bread and pack it for school, when I have leftover tofu in the fridge.

Note the trusty kitchen scales in the background. Highly recommend you get yourself one, if you haven't already. More accurate than measuring cups and spoons and requires no washing up. Completely dependent on this old friend for all cooking and baking. Had it for about a year, still works fine + has warranty anyway, Cost $12 if I remember rightly.
