If you want to prepare the vegetarian BLT with pulled pork and crispy ‘facon’ in advance, there are a few things to consider: Bread: It’s best to add the bread just before you eat the sandwich to prevent it from getting soggy. However, you can prepare the bread by toasting or grilling it and storing it separately. Pulled pork substitute: If you are using a vegetarian pulled pork substitute, such as pulled jackfruit or pulled mushrooms, you can prepare this in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Warm it up just before you assemble the sandwich. ‘Facon’: If you are using vegetarian ‘facon’ or other meat substitutes, you can prepare these in advance and crisp them up. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature until you make the sandwich. Sauce and vegetables: It’s best to add the sauce and vegetables fresh just before you eat the sandwich to ensure they stay fresh and crunchy. By preparing and storing the components of the vegetarian BLT separately, you can quickly and easily assemble the sandwich when you want to serve it. This way, you maintain the best texture and flavor of the different ingredients.

Preparation method

How do you make this?

Cut off the crown of the eggplant and slice it in half.

Use a mandoline to slice very thin slices.

Place the slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper side by side.

Mix all the ingredients for the eggplant in a bowl.

Once well mixed, brush all the slices with the mixture.

Preheat your oven to 120°C for at least an hour depending on the thickness.

The longer you leave the eggplant in the oven, the crispier it will become and the flavor will be even more intense.

Slice the mushrooms into thin slices, then into thin strips.

Add 2 tbsp peanut oil to the pan and sauté the mushrooms in the oil.

Make a mixture of all the ingredients and spices for the pulled pork in a jar.

Mix it with the mushrooms in the pan and continue to cook. The longer you cook it, the more intense the flavor and darker the color will be.

Slice the tomato and avocado, and the onion into rings.

Cut the bagels open and spread them with mustard, first spreading some mustard on the bottom and cut side of the bagel, then layer the lettuce leaves on top followed by the pulled pork, tomato, avocado, onion, and vegetarian bacon. Press down with the top half.

Wrap it up or place it in a lunch box that seals well so it doesn’t fall apart.

You can eat it warm or cold.
