Hello Guys !

Looking for new meal options ? I have a very simple one for you today that everyone should love even if they are not vegan ! so don’t tell them 🙂 (kidding :)) As a teenager I discovered cucumber egg mayo sandwiches in London as they were most of my lunch meals while on a student exchange. At that time I was already a vegetarian, not a vegan, and even if I was never fond of mayonnaise on its own, I found the chives / egg / cucumbers / cracked pepper and mayo combo very addictive at that time (maybe also because my other lunch box options were not really exciting :). Anyway since then I sometimes go for egg mayo sandwiches options when I know it comes from a good production place ! But as it gets more and more difficult for me to eat animal products I tried to find the right vegan alternative and believe I have found it !

Recipe is just below for a very simple vegan mayo you can use in this egg sandwich base but also for any other recipe asking for mayo.

Have fun cooking and let me know how it turned out !

SUPER EASY YUMMY VEGAN MAYONNAISE

INGREDIENTS

160 grs blanched almonds soaked in water for min 4 hours and then rinsed and drained

125 ml purified filtered water

125 ml cold pressed light extra virgin olive oil

2,5 tbsp apple cider vinegar

2 tsp dijon mustard

1 tbsp lemon juice

1/4 tsp turmeric powder

kalak nemak to taste (will bring some salt and eggy flavor)

INSTRUCTIONS

Blend all your ingredients except black salt and olive oil in your high speed blender until you get a super smooth texture. In my termomix I did it for 10 min roughly.

Add gradually the olive oil while continuing blending, to get a smooth well combined texture.

Taste, add a little more lemon or cider vinegar for tanginess or kalak nemak to increase egg flavor. Transfer to your mason jar glass container, close tightly and keep in the fridge for up to a month.

To make your egg mayo mixture, simply chop drained firm tofu (ideally organic and ensuring non GMO), add a few tbsp of your vegan mayo, some cracked black pepper, chopped chives a bit more kalak nemak, a little apple cider vinegar a tsp of dijon mustard. And stir well.

Choose nice sourdough bread or focaccia, GF toasts or wraps, … try to avoid white and refined flours option breads if possible … drop a few tbsp egg mayo mixture, top with sliced cucumber (use mandoline to get thin ones), some baby spinach, cilantro or additional spring onions, and have a nice meal 🙂
