Method

1

Gather and prepare your ingredients.

2

In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, soy sauce, maple syrup, smoked paprika, garlic powder and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.

3

Place the sliced tempeh on a large plate and drizzle over the marinade, turning each piece to ensure the tempeh is well coated.

4

Place a large frying pan over medium-high heat and drizzle with olive oil. Fry the marinated tempeh for 3–4 minutes on each side until browned and caramelised.

5

Spread half of the bread generously with hummus. Layer with lettuce, tomato, cucumber, avocado, the smoky tempeh and sauerkraut (if using). Sandwich together with the remaining bread and serve.

Made as open sandwiches on pumpernickel. 1 portion would feed 2 easily. Very tasty though.
