Tlc Sandwiches Recipes

Steps:

• Wrap tofu snugly in 4 or 5 layers of paper towels and arrange on a plate. Cover with a second plate and balance a heavy can or two on top to weigh down the plate; set aside to drain for 20 minutes. Unwrap tofu and cut into 12 slices.
• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• In a wide, shallow dish, whisk together liquid aminos, nutritional yeast, smoked paprika and 1 tablespoon water. Arrange tofu in dish, turn to coat well with marinade and set aside for 15 minutes.
• Spray a large baking sheet with cooking spray and arrange tofu slices about one inch apart in a single layer; spray all over with cooking spray.
• Bake, flipping tofu halfway through, until firm and golden brown, about 30 minutes; set aside to let cool.
• Spread mayonnaise(or mashed avocado) onto 4 bread slices, then top with lettuce, cucumbers, tofu and remaining bread and serve. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Bread: Use 3 slices of a good white sandwich bread (pain au lait or Pullman loaves are ideal). Be sure to toast it!
• Lettuce: Bibb and Boston lettuce both have nice small, soft leaves that fit well on the sandwich; shredded iceberg can be unruly.
• Tomatoes: Add 2 slices of tomato to each layer of a club; season with salt and pepper before you continue building the sandwich.
• Turkey: Fresh roasted turkey is key. Rub a 2 1/4-pound skinless, boneless turkey breast with olive oil; sprinkle generously with Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Roast 10 minutes at 425˚ F, then reduce to 350˚ F and roast until the internal temperature is 160˚ F, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool, then slice.
• Mayonnaise: Spread a thick layer of mayo on each slice of toasted bread.
• Bacon: You'll want 3 slices per sandwich (1 1/2 slices in each layer). Halve the slices first, then cook in a skillet over medium heat until crisp.

Steps:

• Slice the tempeh into 1/8 inch thick slices. Sprinkle the slices with salt on both sides. Warm half of the oil and fry the tempeh in batches, turning frequently, until well browned. Add more oil if the pan becomes too dry.
• Heat the peeled garlic cloves with the olive oil in a small pot to 180 degrees F for 20 minutes or until slightly browned and tender. About halfway through, the cloves should begin to float. Drain and reserve the oil.
• Mash the garlic with a fork, then whisk in the hot sauce, shallots, and 1 tablespoon of the garlic oil reserved in step 2.
• Peel the cucumbers, halve them lengthwise, and scrape out the seeds with a spoon. Cut them in half lengthwise again, then into 1/4 inch slices. Toss with the buffalo sauce.
• Spread the mayonnaise on both halves of each bun. Assemble the sandwiches with tempeh on the bottom, then salt and fresh ground pepper if desired, then cucumbers, blue cheese, and finally carrots.
• Tip: You can use the leftover garlic oil in other recipes.
