TOAST THE ALMOND FLAKES
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Place the flaked almonds in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until golden brown, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside to cool.
VEGAN CAESAR DRESSING
Boil the kettle. Place 40ml of the Dijon mayo in a small bowl. Combine with the juice of 1 Lemon wedge, a drizzle of oil, and the grated garlic to taste. Gradually mix in the nutritional yeast until thick and ‘cheesy’. Then, loosen with water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency. Season to taste and set aside. Submerge the peas in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until heated through. Drain on completion and set aside for serving.
CRISPY Kale
Place the shredded Kale on a roasting tray with a drizzle of oil, a squeeze of Lemon juice, and some seasoning. Using your hands, massage until softened and evenly coated. Spread out in a single layer and roast in the hot oven for 8-10 minutes until crispy, shifting halfway. Remove from the oven on completion.
CRUMB THE Tofu
Place the remaining Dijon mayo in a shallow dish with a small splash of water, and whisk vigorously until runny. In a second shallow dish, combine the tapioca flour with a pinch of salt. Prepare a third shallow dish containing the quinoa flakes. Pat the drained Tofu dry with paper towel and halve to create 2 slabs. Coat in the tapioca flour, then in the mayo, and lastly in the quinoa flakes, making sure they’re fully coated in each mixture. When passing through the flakes, press them into the tofu so they stick and coat evenly. Dust off any excess in between coatings.
FRY THE Tofu
Return the pan to a medium-high heat with enough oil to cover the base. When hot, fry the Tofu for 4-5 minutes, gently turning as it colours, until crispy and golden all over. On completion, transfer to a baking tray (or the tray that was used for the Kale) and pop in the oven for 2-3 minutes for some extra crisp!
DINNER IS SERVED!
Lay out a bed of rinsed green leaves and top with the Peas and crispy Kale. Cover in the Cucumber ribbons and place the crumbed tofu on top. Sprinkle over the toasted almond flakes and the lemon zest (to taste), and drizzle the whole plate with the creamy caesar dressing. Well done, Chef!
