If you ever discuss food with me in person, it won\u2019t take long to realise that I love vegan cuisine<\/a>. This isn\u2019t only because of the ethical, health and environmental benefits, although I do believe these are of great use to the world, but also how vegan food has driven the need for culinary innovation. For chefs, it\u2019s always an incredible challenge to use new and largely unknown ingredients to create something simply delicious, especially when it\u2019s something as beloved as a BLAT sandwich.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite bacon, lettuce, avocado and tomato being a relatively basic set of ingredients, there\u2019s just something about this classic combination of flavours that has made it a staple of homes for generations. But with bacon obviously off the menu when it comes to vegan cooking, how can we create something that tastes just as wonderful? In this recipe, the answer is tempeh. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re a little unsure about what that is, tempeh is a traditional Javanese product made from fermented soybeans that’s known as a stellar bacon substitute. Alongside the use of incredibly fresh bread and vegetables to build your sandwich, you can be sure this recipe will help change your mind on how delicious plant-based food can be. Without further ado, it\u2019s time to feast on this delightful lunchtime sandwich.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
