Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can hearts of palm
- nori powder*
- 6–8 slices of white bread or baguette
- vegan mayo
- 1 garlic clove
- vegan butter for cooking
- pickles and fresh parsley for garnishing
For marinade:
- 1 1/2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp liquid smoke
Instructions
- Whisk together soy sauce, olive oil and liquid smoke and set aside.
- Drain the can of hearts of palm. Push the cores out of each one. Save the cores for another recipe.
- Now you have to open the “tubes” to make them look like fish fillets. Slit the thin side of each tube, open them up and gently flatten with your hand.
- Place your “sprat fillets” into storage container, cover with marinade and put in a fridge overnight.
- Heat generous amount of vegan butter in a skillet over medium heat. Drain “sprat fillets” and fry for few minutes on each side until golden brown. Place vegan sprats onto a plate lined with paper towel to absorb excess fat. Sprinkle with nori powder and put aside.
- Preheat another skillet over medium heat.
- Spread some vegan butter on one side of each slice of bread. Toast the bread on one side until browned and crispy. Remove from the skillet.
- Rub the toasted side with garlic clove and spread a little bit of vegan mayo on top. Add vegan sprat fillet and garnish with pickle and fresh parsley.
