Servings: 4 sandwiches

1 sheet

nori
¼ cup

extra firm tofu
2-3

pickled gherkins
¼ bunch

parsley
3 tbsp

mayonnaise
1 tbsp

lemon juice
1 tsp

mustard
¼ tsp

ground white pepper

ground fennel seeds
½ tsp

salt
8 slices

whole grain toast

Instructions

Tear the nori leaf into small pieces and place them in a bowl. Crumble the tofu, add it to the bowl and pour boiling water over it, and leave to stand for 15 minutes. Then, put everything in a sieve and lightly press on the mince to drain the water.
Chop the gherkins and parsley.
Using a food processor or blender, briefly mix or blend the tofu and nori leaves with mayonnaise, gherkins, parsley, lemon juice, and mustard, along with all the dry spices. Place in a bowl, briefly stir, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Spread a generous helping of margarine on one side of the toast slices. Put a large pan on medium heat and fry the slices until they are golden brown.
Divide the vegan tuna mixture between the 4 slices, add lettuce leaves and tomato slices, and cut diagonally before serving.
