Method

Tempeh BLAT sandwich
  • 1
    To make tempeh bacon, preheat oven to 200°C. Line an oven tray with baking paper. Combine tamari, oil, maple syrup and paprika in a medium bowl. Add tempeh; toss to coat. Place tempeh, in a single layer, on tray. Bake for 20 minutes, turning halfway through cooking, until crisp.
  • 2
    Meanwhile, make beetroot relish. Place ingredients, except oil, in a small saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered for 10 minutes or until thickened. Stir in oil; cool.
  • 3
    Combine avocado and juice in a small bowl; season.
  • 4
    Place 4 slices of bread on a board; spread with combined mayonnaise and turmeric. Top with tomato, tempeh bacon, carrot, avocado mixture, rocket and beetroot relish. Top with remaining slices of bread.

Notes

Beetroot relish makes about 1½ cups. Store leftover relish, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Beetroot relish goes well with cheese or in burgers and sandwiches. If pomegranate molasses is not available, combine 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar and 1 tablespoon caster (superfine) sugar.
