Vegan Sesame Prawn Toast
Prep: 30 mins | Cook: 20 mins | Total: 50 mins | Quantity: Serves 4-6
Ingredients
- 1 cup (95g) closed cup mushrooms – roughly diced
- 3 cloves garlic – peeled and crushed
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tblsp vegetable bouillon – or sub with 1 veg stock cube
- 280g pack firm tofu
- 2 sheets nori
- 1 tblsp tahini
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 lemon – juice only
- 6 medium slices white bread
- oil for shallow frying
- 4-5 tblsp sesame seeds
Instructions
- Put the diced mushrooms, crushed garlic and sesame oil into a small frying pan and saute until just softened
- Stir in the vegetable stock and remove from the heat
- Tip the mushroom mixture into a food processor bowl along with the tofu, nori, tahini, salt and lemon juice and whizz everything to a smooth paste
- Divide evenly amongst the 6 slices of bread, spreading thickly on each one
- Cut the bread slices into 4 triangles
- Put the sesame seeds onto a plate or shallow dish and push each triangle into the sesame seeds. Push quite firmly so the seeds stick well into the paste
- Heat a good drizzle of oil in a large frying pan and lay in several of the bread triangles, sesame seed side down
- Fry for a few minutes, carefully checking occasionally to see if the sesame seeds are turning golden
- Once they're gently coloured carefully turn the toasts over and fry for a couple of minutes on the other side
- Drain the prawn toasts on kitchen paper
- Repeat with the remaining triangles (see note)
Notes
- These prawn toasts are best served within a couple of minutes of frying for best crispness but can be kept warm in the oven while you fry the rest of the batch
