2 pack of solid natural tofu (about 270g)

¼ cup tamari sauce

1 egg

1 cup shredded coconut

cold pressed coconut oil for frying

Mash

6 potatoes (about 500g)

A pinch grated nutmeg

¼½ cup of boiling water

2 tsp nutritional yeast (optional)

½  tsp salt

A pinch white pepper

1 avocado

2 green onions

1 fennel

Handful of mache salad

Dressing

Handful of fresh mint

The juice from ½ lime

2 Tbsp cold pressed olive oil

A pinch of flake salt

Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Tofu Sticks

Squeeze the water out of tofu. Cut into slices, toss in the tamari, beaten egg and grated coconut. Put aside. Heat some oil in a frying pan and fry the breaded tofu. Fry the sticks until lightly golden over a fairly low heat.

 

Mash

Peel the root vegetables and cut into pieces. Boil them until soft in salted water. Pour off most of the water (save a little to thin out the mash) and mash the root vegetables. Stir or whisk in some of the saved water to adjust consistency. Season with nutmeg, nutritional yeast, salt and white pepper.

 

Salad

Peel and cut the grapefruit into pieces. Peel, pit and slice the avocado. Slice the green onions and slice the fennel thin with mandolin or a sharp knife. Toss everything together with the mache on a platter. Stir together the dressing with chopped mint, pressed lime, olive oil, salt and pepper and pour over the salad.
