• 330G Veeba Sauces, Barbeque Sauce (330g)
• 30 g Smoked Paprika Powder
• - Garlic Powder
• 100 g Salt
• 50 g Black Pepper

• 250 g Spinach
• 500 g Onion
• 300 g Brown Bread Ladi Pav

Instructions

1. 1. Press the tofu to remove excess moisture by wrapping it in a clean kitchen towel, placing it on a plate, and setting a heavy object on top for 10 minutes.
2. 2. Slice the pressed tofu into 1-inch thick slabs and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika on both sides.
3. 3. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Sear the tofu slabs for 3-4 minutes per side until golden and slightly crispy.
4. 4. Brush each tofu slab generously with barbecue sauce and continue cooking for another 2 minutes per side to caramelize the sauce. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
5. 5. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Slice the sub rolls lengthwise, leaving one side attached to form a hinge.
6. 6. Assemble the subs by placing a layer of fresh spinach leaves inside each roll, followed by the BBQ tofu slabs. Top with thinly sliced onion rings and grated pepper jack cheese.
7. 7. Place the assembled subs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. 8. Remove the subs from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro for a burst of flavor. Serve hot and enjoy!
