This mouthwatering sandwich was so worth taking the time to make! A toasted ciabatta bun, crispy fried tofu, caramelized onions, dijonnaise, pepper jack cheese and chimichurri…this sandwich was everything! Check out my reel of how I put this sandwich together, watching it again makes me want to whip up this sandwich today!
Everything in this delicious sandwich was pretty quick and easy to make, the longest part was making the caramelized onions but in the end they were so worth waiting for.
Well what are we waiting for? Let’s make this delicious sandwich!
Crispy Tofu Sandwich with Chimichurri
Ingredients
2-3 slices tofu (firm or extra firm)
1/2 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
1 large white onion (diced)
Splash of sherry
Splash of worcestershire sauce
- Chimichurri
1 diced shallot
1 tsp red pepper flakes
3-4 diced garlic cloves
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup finely chopped cilantro
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
2 tbsp dried oregano
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Dijonnaise
1 part mayo
1 part whole grain mustard
Directions
- Start with dicing the white onion and sauté on medium/low heat in olive oil. Stir often and let it reduce for 45-50 minutes. About 20 minutes into frying, add a splash of sherry and worcestershire sauce and mix in.
- Cut your tofu into slices and press them with a paper towel to get any moisture out. Once that is done, coat the slices in cornstarch and fry in a pan until crispy. Season with whatever you like!
- Prep the dijonnaise by mixing in a small bowl, 1 part mayo and 1 part whole grain mustard.
- Dice the shallot and garlic cloves and add into a small bowl with the red wine vinegar, salt, red pepper flakes and extra-virgin olive oil. Finely chop the cilantro and parsley and add to the bowl and mix everything together.
- Once the caramelized onions are ready and your tofu is crispy, toast the ciabatta bun and assemble!
- I assembled my sandwich in this order, but do whatever you’re feeling!
Toasted bun, dijonnaise on both sides, tofu, caramelized onions, shredded cheese and chimichurri! - Enjoy!
I hope you enjoyed making this sandwich as much as I did!
