This is so simple I feel like I’m cheating by posting it. We wanted BLT this Monday. We’ve got a reliable source of vegan gluten-free bread so the next step is to make it awesome.
All you need is some smoky maple bacon tempeh. We bought outs pre-flavored but a tablespoon of maple syrup and drop of liquid smoke or pinch of smoked paprika works perfectly. We sprayed a pan lightly with some olive oil and sauteed it until it was browned lightly.
We mixed up some chipotle lime mayo by combining the juice from 1/2 a lime, a heaping tablespoon of nutritional yeast, a pinch of vegan sugar, 1 carton of silken tofu and 1 8 ounce tin of chipotle peppers (this will make it REALLY spicy) use 2-3 peppers for an amusing kick of spice) in the food processor and blending until smooth.
I spread that on a piece of bread, added some tomato and spinach, so technically it’s not really a BLT, it’s a TST but who’s counting anyways.
These babies disappeared really fast.
This is Christie and Brent, signing off.
YUM! I love vegan BLTs (or TLTs, whatevs!) We’re actually making a simpler version of this tonight because the last thing I want to do in this heat is turn on the oven!!
Yummy! Love the TLT. : )
Oooooooo…I want this now please.
.
You’re welcome for dinner anytime. Just let us know what kind of margaritas and daquiris you want…
I’m giving tempeh another try just for TLT’s!
Tempeh Fakin’ Bacon is my FAVE-Y. I love browning it gently in the pan and eating it on the side of my tofu scramble. Your dressing sounds so tasty. I am trying it, for sure.
YEAH! Sometimes we have tempeh and tofu scramble on Teese or Follow your Heart mozzarella melted over bread. … hungry now.
I wish I had access to those strips. I’d make BLT all the time!
I hear ya. I hate that many vegan goodies aren’t readily available. I had to write my local store manager to get kombucha.
I wish I could write such a good blog.
I think that what you said was actually very logical. However, what about this? what if you wrote a catchier post title? I mean, I don’t want to tell you how to run your website, however suppose you added something that makes people want more? I mean Vegan BLT… like a party in your face! Turning Veganese is a little plain. You might peek at Yahoo’s home page and watch how they create post titles to get viewers interested. You might add a related video or a picture or two to grab people interested about everything’ve written. Just my opinion, it would bring your blog a little bit more interesting.
I don’t comment, however after browsing through a great deal of comments on Vegan BLT… like a party in your face! Turning Veganese. I actually do have a few questions for you if you do not mind. Could it be only me or do a few of these responses come across like they are coming from brain dead individuals?
And, if you are writing on additional online social sites, I’d like to keep up with everything fresh you have to post. Could you make a list of all of your shared pages like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?
