Directions
-
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180℃.
-
Step 2
Rinse and drain the banana blossom thoroughly. Squeeze out any excess liquid and pull it apart in pieces until it resembles shredded chicken.
-
Step 3
In a bowl add the banana blossom and all the marinade ingredients including the 1 cup of hot water and mix well making sure all of the vegan ‘chicken’ is covered. Set aside while you prepare your sandwich toppings.
-
Step 4
After 20 minutes, drain all of the liquid from the vegan ‘chicken’ and transfer to an oven-proof dish. Place in the oven for 20 minutes. Once the vegan ‘chicken’ is cooked remove it from the oven and set it aside while you assemble your sandwich toppings.
-
Step 5
Start by buttering your bread and add the lettuce, beetroot, carrot, sprouts and avocado. Add the vegan ‘chicken’ and top with the second slice of bread and voila – your sandwich is ready to be enjoyed.
