Tofu finger sandwiches – the delicious fingers are crispy on the outside and squidgy on the inside.

Served in a ciabatta bun with fresh and minty peas and creamy but tart tartar sauce. It’s an amazing taste and texture combination.

I have been meaning to create this recipe for ages – itโ€™s such a fun and delicious way to eat tofu. I challenge even the most sceptical not to like this one.

If you’d like to see how to make this, head over to my Instagram to check out the video.

Note – I made 6 very large chunky fingers – but you can make smaller ones for more portions.

I really hope you love this super tasty recipe.

Much love, Niki xxx

  1. This looks fantastic. How much mint is required for the minty peas? I couldn’t see any listed in the recipe or ingredients list. Huge thanks for any clarification you can give.

    PS. Your puy lentil stew on a bed of hummus is a staple in my house. So delicious.
