Carrot Loxury Sandwich
Ingredients you'll need
For the carrot lox:
- 3 carrots
For the Marinade:
- 2 Tbsp Oil
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 2 Tbsp white wine vinegar
- Salt to taste
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
For one sandwich:
- 100g Tofu Rosso
- 1 Tbsp Green Pesto
- a good handful of arugula
- 2 slices of bread
Let's get cookin'
- Peel the carrots and slice them. Then boil them in salted water for about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mix all the ingredients for the marinade and add the cooked carrots to it. 20 minutes is enough, but they’ll taste best if you let them marinate overnight.
- For the sandwich, spread pesto on both slices of bread and layer the tofu, arugula, and carrot salmon on top.
- Close the sandwich and enjoy.
