Recipe: Breadless Sandwiches

This is a really fun plate to make and to eat. No bread, lots of veggies, and easy to prepare. I like to fry up the cutlets on Sunday and use them in pita bread sandwiches (best with thin cucumber slices). Be sure to use the kind of tofu that holds its shape well. Mori-Nu doesn't work for this, but you can use tofu from a health food store, Winco, Trader Joe's or some similar type of tofu.

   1 extra-firm block of tofu, sliced
   Olive oil to fry
   Nutritional yeast
   Seasoning salt

Fry slices of tofu in olive oil. Shake nutritional yeast and seasoning salt on one side of each slice, turn over and fry, add yeast and salt to the other side, and keep turning until both sides are golden brown.

   English cucumber, slices
   Green and yellow bell pepper, thick chunks
   Vegenaise, optional
   Salt to taste

Lay slices of seasoned, fried tofu on a breakfast plate. Dab a bit of vegenaise on each slice and top with cucumber slices. Arrange chunks of bell pepper around the breadless sandwiches and salt to taste.
