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

  1. Put the diced mushrooms, crushed garlic and sesame oil into a small frying pan and saute until just softened
  2. Stir in the vegetable stock and remove from the heat
  3. 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
  4. Divide evenly amongst the 6 slices of bread, spreading thickly on each one
  5. Cut the bread slices into 4 triangles
  6. 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
  7. Heat a good drizzle of oil in a large frying pan and lay in several of the bread triangles, sesame seed side down
  8. Fry for a few minutes, carefully checking occasionally to see if the sesame seeds are turning golden
  9. Once they're gently coloured carefully turn the toasts over and fry for a couple of minutes on the other side
  10. Drain the prawn toasts on kitchen paper
  11. 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
