  1. TOASTY 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.

  2. CAESAR WAS VEGAN?

    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 plumped up and heated through. Drain on completion and set aside for serving.

  3. 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.

  4. CRUMB THE TOFU

    In a shallow dish place the remaining Dijon mayo with a small splash of water, and whisk vigorously until runny. Prepare two more shallow dishes; one containing the tapioca flour (lightly seasoned) and the other containing the quinoa flakes. Pat the drained tofu dry with paper towel and cut into 2 slabs. Coat in the tapioca flour, then in the Dijon 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.

  5. GOLDEN SLABS

    Return the pan to a medium-high heat with enough oil to cover the base. When hot, fry the tofu slabs for 4-5 minutes, gently turning as they colour, 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!

  6. 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!
