I mentioned in my post last week that Andrew and I ate at the Cloisters in NYC and, much to our surprise and pleasure, discovered an apple tofu curry sandwich at their teeny tiny little cafe by the cloistered garden. So taking their sandwich as inspiration I set out this morning to make my own and, presto, it couldn’t have worked out better. Well maybe, but honestly I don’t know how as this one was super delicious, so I’m going with this one for lunches to come in the days and months ahead. Double the recipe below if you live in a house of 5 and need lunch stuff for kids, school, work, and hungry husbands!

1/2 tbsp olive oil

1/2 onion, chopped finely

1/2 granny smith apple, chopped finely

3 tbsps veganaise

1 tsp dijon mustard

1/2 tsp turmeric

1/2 tsp curry powder

8 oz firm tofu, crumbled

3 green onions, chopped

salt and pepper

Heat olive oil in a small frying pan. Add onion and granny smith apple and saute until soft.

Meanwhile combine veganaise, mustard, turmeric, curry powder, and crumbled tofu in a bowl. Add onion and apple and combine. Toss in green onions and salt and pepper to taste. Serve on toasted bread of your choice with sprouts, tomato, lettuce, onions, or whatever else tickles your fancy. Serve. Eat. Savour. Get on with your day feeling satisfied.
