Smoked tofu: Well, this is the star of the show. Smoked tofu is simply tofu often smoked in tea leaves or beechwood, giving it a light brown color and a smokey flavor. It reminds me of the taste of smoked Italian scamorza (one can only dream!). But honestly, it's delicious!Bread: Of course! It's a sandwich! I used ciabatta bread because its soft, chewy texture works incredibly well with any filling. But you can use your favorite bread! Including gluten-free bread.Avocado: Make sure it's ripe and creamy. Check out my tips on how to find the perfectly ripe avocado in this recipe.Tahini sauce: This sauce it's incredibly easy to make, and you won't even need a food processor or blender. You just need to mix two tablespoons of tahini with the juice of half an orange and a sprinkle of sea salt and pepper in a small bowl. The sweetness of the orange is perfect to contrast the slight bitterness of tahini.Tomatoes: Pick juicy, sweet tomatoes.Arugula: With its peppery flavor, it'll give a spicy kick to your sandwich! TIP: If you can't find smoked tofu in your area, you can simply marinate standard tofu with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 teaspoon of sweet paprika. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes, and then pan fry.Other filling ideas
