Get a large bowl, and add 3-4 large tablespoons
of tahini. Add a little water, and a little lemon juice, salt pepper
and blend until mixture is thick and creamy, though slightly runnier
the original tahini consistency.
Meanwhile, chop all vegetables finely (except tomato and spinach).
Add vegetables to the bowl and coat with tahini mixture.
Heat olive oil in frying pan, and fry slices of smoked tofu until
lightly crispy.
If you are using pitas then lightly heat pita in toaster/grill. Or
lay a slice of thick bread on a plate. Layer bread or pita with fried
smoked tofu and crunchy vegetable mix. Its also nice to add spinach/tomato
slices (optional)
Eat and enjoy.
This is a very filling meal, that has a slight tangyness to it, especially
if you add sliced tomato. If you prefer something more creamy, then
omit the tomatoes and use less water when blending the tahini.
The vegetable mixture taste even better when left to marinade for
a while (especially when using spring onions in the mixture). But
if left too long the vegetables start to release moisture, and dilute
the tahini mix into something more runny.
I also use the vegetable filling with bean salads, a dip for tortillas,
over couscous, or over a large plate of chips!
