The Ultimate Vegan Club Sandwich recipe – it’s packed to the rafters with vegan chick’n, sweet and smoky ‘bacon’, eggless omelette, avocado, salad and lashings of vegan mayo in a lightly toasted tower of bread.
This is one of those meals I actually daydream about. Like literally sit there and dream about how it tastes, the textures, the flavours. O.M.G. It might just be the most incredible creation to date on my blog.
Inspired by the restaurant ‘By Valeria’ in Sal, Cape Verde, this is the type of recipe that you’ll want to make again and again. It’s easier than you will think and it is OUT-OF-THIS-WORLD delicious!

- Brush a little water on to each side of the rice paper strips. Also brush water in-between the strips that are placed on top of each other, to stick them together and make the bacon thicker.
- Mix up the bacon marinade ingredients (oil, miso, tamari, smoke, syrup and garlic powder) in a jug and brush the mixture on to both sides of the ‘rashers’.1 tbsp coconut oil, 1/2 tsp miso, 1 tbsp tamari, 1/2 tsp liquid smoke, 1 tsp maple syrup, 1/4 tsp garlic powder

- Fry the mixture in a little coconut oil for about 5 minutes on each side, until golden. Use a small frying pan for this (approx 20cm) so that the mix doesn’t spread out too far.coconut oil spray
