Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Prep and cook the tofu
- Pat the tofu dry with paper towels; cut the tofu crosswise into 1-inch-thick slices.
In a medium bowl, add the po’boy seasoning blend, season generously with salt and pepper, and stir to combine. Add the tofu and toss to coat. Transfer to a plate. Press any uncoated tofu into the seasoning blend again.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 2 to 3 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the tofu and cook, turning occasionally, until lightly browned and crisp, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate and season with salt and pepper. Pour off all but 1 to 2 teaspoons oil from the pan. While the tofu is cooking, prep the apple slaw and tomato.
2
Make the apple slaw; prep the tomato
- Peel the apple, if desired; core and cut into matchsticks.
- Cut the radicchio into quarters lengthwise, then cut away any core; thinly slice the radicchio.
- Cut away the core from the tomato; cut the tomato crosswise into ¼-inch-thick slices for garnish.
In a medium bowl, stir together the vegan Caesar dressing and as much cayenne as you like. Add the apple and radicchio and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
3
Toast the ciabatta
- Cut the ciabatta in half horizontally, leaving a long side intact.
In the same pan used for the tofu, warm the residual oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Place the ciabatta, cut sides down, and cook until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
Serve
Place the ciabatta bottoms, cut sides up, on individual plates and spoon on as much apple slaw as you like. Top each with the tofu and tomato. Close with the ciabatta tops and serve any remaining slaw on the side.
