Day 10 : Secret Ingredient

"Unfiltered Light on Sand, Grand Haven, MI"

I admit that for vegans, tofurky is NOT a surprise ingredient. We have been eating it for years and years, but I think my hubby has invented the BEST way to use the stuff! So GOOD! We eat them like there's no tomorrow, juice running down our hands and mayo on our chins. We don't care. We keep eating. No time to reach for a napkin....if you set the sammie down, it might fall apart and that would be a shame....so we just keep eating. Sandwich after sandwich after sandwich. 

Here's what you need:

1 box peppered tofurky slices

fresh tomatoes

iceberg lettuce

mayo

maple syrup

soy sauce

liquid smoke

good, thin white bread (like Pepperidge Farm Sandwich bread)

Prepare to be amazed at this secret way to make bacon for the world's best vegan BLT.

Here's what you do:

Make a slurry of maple syrup (maybe about 2-3 T), liquid smoke (maybe about 1 t), and soy sauce (maybe about 2 t). Use a pastry brush to lightly brush each slice of tofurky. Fry them lightly in a tiny bit of corn oil, flipping once. Brush on more saucy goodness after you flip them. 

DELICIOUS!
