Hollandaise Sauce & "eggs" Florentine Supreme.
This is a verstile hollandaise sauce that just requires a high-speed blender and a pair of scales. The other elements pan fried tofu, spinach, avodado and grilled tomatoes are easily prepared.
Ingredients
Hollandaise Sauce dry ingredients - enough for 10 portions - freeze the rest of the sauce
- 20 g Nutritional Yeast
- ½ level tsp Turmeric
- 1 level tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 level tsp Onion Powder
- 1/2 level tsp Black Salt Kala Namak*
- 1/8 level tsp Cayenne Pepper
- 1/4 level tsp white pepper
Hollandaise Sauce wet ingredients - enough for 10 portions - freeze the rest of the sauce
- 150 g Raw Cashews soaked in hot water for 1 hour
- 2 Tbsp 30ml Lemon Juice
- 1 tsp 5ml White Vinegar
- 240 ml of oat milk
- 1 level Tbsp 20g Dijon Mustard
- 30 g vegan margarine
Ingredients for the dish itself - enough for 4 slices of toast
- 600 g of blocks of medium firm tofu you can use firm, which is easier to pan fry - but medium firm is best. Tofu King
- 1 whole Avocado
- 200 g of Spinach
- 8 cloves of garlic
- 2 whole Beefsteak tomatoes or 4 large vine tomatoes
Instructions
- Make sure the cashews are well soaked or it will take ages to blend – unless you have a Nutribullet. But a Nutribillet is the best way to blend this supersmooth.
- Add all the ingredients into your food processor (or Nutribullet) and blend thoroughly so that it is completely smooth.
- Pour enough of the finished blended sauce into a heatproof bowl - pyrex is best. Allow 50g per person should should be enough.
- Meanwhile, take some blocks of tofu, and slice about ¼ inch/ 5mm thick - this is each block sliced into 4
- Put a layer of soy sauce, chilli sauce, etc, kala namak in a large pyrex baking dish. Pour soy sauce & chilli sauce on top. After 10 mins, turn over.
- Pan fry this on a griddle or similar, on a medium heat in olive oil for a few minutes either side.
- Sauté some crushed garlic, then add in spinach and soy sauce and wilt the spinach until nice and soft.
- Slice beefsteak tomatoes – Turkish ones are best. Oil a baking try, and brush the top of the tomatoes with oil. Sprinkle some oregano and BBQ or Cajun spice on top and grill 5 mins or so.
- Peel and thinly slice some nicely ripe avocado pear.
- An alternative to avocado or tomato is to slice & pan fry portobello mushrooms
- Heat the hollandaise sauce over a pan of hot water in a glass bowl or on low power in the microwave until warm, but don't let get too hot or it will thicken too much. I find the microwave on 30% for a few minutes at a time - then stirring - gives the most consistent results.
- Make some toast, butter it, and if you like it, spread some Marmite or Natex on one side.
- Spread a layer of spinach, on that.
- then carefully place the pan-fried tofu, to cover the slices of toast. I prefer my sourdough, which uses less tofu, but on a standard wholemeal loaf you will need the whole 600g pack.
- Then place the tomato,
- finally place the thinly sliced avocado.
- Heat the stack in the microwave oven for around 30 secs to warm it all up nicely
- Then drizzle the warmed hollandaise sauce on top generously.....
- Finally sprinkle with smoked paprika and black pepper
Notes
- I'm testing if this can be frozen sucessfully.
- Quantity of sauce should be enough for a generous serving for 8 people - so either make less or freeze or use the rest in a different dish.
- Quantities of avocados, tofu, spinach & tomatoes are approximate and depend on individual preferences.
- I usually make a double lot and freeze what I don't use in 150g & 100g lots so it's easy to defrost enough for how many slices you're making.
