Ingredients

Servings

For the pesto

  • 1 basil leaves heaping cup
  • 1/2 lemon juiced
  • 2 tbsp pumpkin seeds
  • 1/4 cup olive oil adjust to your preferred taste/texture
  • 40 g vegan parmesan cheese grated, about 1 cup finely grated
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste

For the tofu "tuna"

  • 1 block 180 g smoked tofu, grated*
  • 1/3 cup Vegan mayo
  • 1 shallot finely diced, medium
  • 2 scallions finely diced
  • 1/2 lemon juiced
  • 1.5 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Old Bay seasoning optional, 1/2 tsp

Per sandwich

  • 1 piece naan bread sliced in half
  • 1 tbsp pesto
  • 1/2 cup tofu "tuna" style
  • 1 tomato sliced, small
  • 1/4 avocado sliced
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste

Instructions

For the pesto

  1. In a food processor, combine basil leaves, lemon juice, pumpkin seeds, olive oil, grated vegan parmesan and blitz until finely pureed. Scrape down the sides as needed to fully blend. Add salt and pepper to taste if desired.

For the tofu "tuna"

  1. Grate 1 block of smoked tofu, then combine with vegan mayo, diced shallots, diced scallions, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, black pepper and Old Bay seasoning (if using). Mix well and set aside. For best flavour, refrigerate for at least 30 min to allow the flavours to marinate.

To make the vegan tunacado sandwich

  1. Slice the naan in half moons and toast until crisp (but not burnt). On one side, spread the pesto, then add the tofu "tuna", and top with sliced tomato. To the other side, add sliced avocado. Add salt and pepper to taste, close the sandwich and enjoy!

Notes

  • *If you don't have smoked tofu, feel free to use grated extra firm tofu. You can also use flaked chickpeas here!
