Vegan Prawn Toast
This Vegan Prawn Toast recipe is simple to follow and delicious!
Servings: 4 prawn toast
Ingredients
- 1 aubergine
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (to coat the aubergine)
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
- ½ tsp sugar
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- pinch sea salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 nori sheet (sushi paper), crushed into little flakes
- 8 slices of bread, cut into squares (just cut off the crusts) Save your crusts to make breadcrumbs! Simply blend them in a food processor and keep them in a container.
- 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoon cornstarch/flour
- 1 tablespoon black or white sesame seeds
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 220C (200C fan).
- Get your aubergine and spike it several times with a fork. Brush with vegetable oil and then roast for 40 minutes or until the skin is wrinkly and the middle is soft.
- Remove your aubergine from the oven and leave to cool for 5 minutes. Then, remove the skin and mash with your garlic, sugar, soy sauce, salt, black pepper, and crushed nori sheet in a bowl. Give everything a good mix and then cover and leave for at least 4 hours in the fridge, preferably overnight.
- The next day, slice 8 pieces of bread into squares. Remove the crusts (make breadcrumbs out of them!), and set them aside.
- Get your aubergine "prawn" filling from the fridge and give it another good mix.
- Lay one piece of square bread down. Coat a 2 cm layer of your aubergine filling (¼ of the filling) onto the piece of bread and top with another piece of bread. Repeat this step for all of your vegan prawn toasts.
- In a shallow bowl or on a plate, combine your 2 tablespoon vegetable oil and 2 teaspoon cornstarch/flour until you get a thick vegetable oil mixture.
- Gently coat the prawn toast in the vegetable oil mixture by tossing the toast around in it. Then, coat in sesame seeds. Repeat for the 4 vegan prawn toasts.
- Place a frying pan on medium heat with a splash of oil. Add in your vegan prawn toast and fry on each side for around 4 minutes or until golden and crispy.
- Remove from the pan and set on a piece of kitchen towel to remove any excess oil. Serve up and enjoy!
