It’s a Sunday tradition around our house to go out for breakfast. During lockdown, it’ s one of those treats that I am really starting to miss. A couple weeks ago, I worked on a recipe for a tofu based sausage and this week I figured out bacon! For my vegetarian and vegan friends, finding that salty, spicy, oily and slightly sweet flavour punch is a big win!
Here we use extra firm tofu sliced into thin, uniform pieces. The thinner, the crispier the final product. Thicker slices turn out more like peameal (Canadian) style bacon. Use these yummy bites alongside pancakes or french toast, in a BLT or as a topping for salad. Pure, complete protein and much healthier than the real thing!
You can find smoked spices at Bulk Barn here in Canada or shop online. Smoked salt and paprika also make a good addition to potato salad, barbecue sauce, chilis and mayo.
