We have a lot of vegan sandwiches for you to try, such as a vegan sandwich with chickpeas and avocado and one with melted cheese with kimchi, but this vegan sandwich is one of our favourites, thanks to the flavourful tandoori cauliflower and pea pesto with mint and coriander, both of which you can easily make in advance. The balanced fitness baguette is delicious all year round. Experiment to find out which season it really takes off in!

Mise en place

< Max 24 hours in advance >

Defrost and bake the fitness baguette as indicated on the packet. Leave to cool on a wire rack.

< Max 24 hours in advance >

Meanwhile, make the tandoori cauliflower: Put the tandoori paste in the blender with some olive oil and blend until smooth. Cut the cauliflower into florets and mix into the tandoori. Vacuum pack and store in the fridge overnight.

< Max 4 hours in advance >

Next, make the pea pesto: mix the (thawed) peas with olive oil, coriander and mint until you get a smooth consistency.

Preparation

Cut the baguette in two. Spread the underside with the pea pesto.
Top with the vegan cheese, tandoori cauliflower and a twist of the salt and pepper mill.
Grill briefly, until the cheese is melted. Garnish with chopped cashew and some extra coriander. Top with the other half of the baguette.
Serve immediately!

Tips from the chef

Tip 1

"You can prepare the tandoori cauliflower in different ways, depending on the tools you have in your kitchen: a sous vide machine, MagiMix... You can also boil the cauliflower briefly and marinate it afterwards."

Tip 2

"The pea pesto we present here is quite simple to save you time and cut costs. You can add additional (vegan!) flavours like garlic and lemon if you like."

Tip 3

"Choose a demi baguette or opt for a variant: a fitness bread or a ciabatta fitness. There is something to be said for each version. The chefs at La Lorraine Bakery Group are happy to advise!”
