INGREDIENTS
2 slices Whole Grain Bread (70g total)
150g Extra-Firm Tofu
1 oz Low-Fat Mozzarella Cheese (28g)
1/2 medium Red Bell Pepper (~50g)
1/2 medium Zucchini (~60g)
1 medium Portobello Mushroom (~100g)
1/4 cup Roasted Chickpeas (~40g)
1 tbsp Basil Pesto (16g)
PREPARATION
Press the tofu to remove excess moisture and cut into 1/4-inch thick slices.
Prepare a herb marinade by combining a drizzle of olive oil, your favorite dried herbs (like oregano and thyme), salt, and pepper. Marinate the tofu slices for at least 15 minutes.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Grill the marinated tofu slices for about 3-4 minutes per side until grill marks appear.
Slice the red bell pepper, zucchini, and portobello mushroom uniformly. Lightly brush with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and grill the vegetables until tender and slightly charred, about 3-5 minutes per side.
Toast the whole grain bread slices lightly on the grill or in a toaster.
Assemble the sandwich by spreading 1 tablespoon of basil pesto on one side of each bread slice. Layer the grilled tofu, low-fat mozzarella, grilled vegetables, and roasted chickpeas.
Close the sandwich, press lightly, and if desired, give it a final brief grill press for 1-2 minutes to meld the flavors.
Slice in half and serve warm.
