Ingredients for 2 servings

2 servings

Check off ingredients as you go.

Contains gluten, soya. Check the labels on packaged ingredients:

  • flatbreads. Flatbreads vary widely and often contain milk or yoghurt; check the label.

Cooking steps

  1. Heat the oven to 200°C / 400°F (180°C fan).

  2. Mash the beans with half the oil and a splash of water until spreadable, and spread the mixture over the flatbreads.

  3. Lay the tofu and tomato slices over the top, scatter with the oregano and spoon the rest of the oil over.

  4. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are crisp and the topping is hot right through. Scatter the basil over as they come out.

    Cooked when: 74°C / 165°F, steaming hot throughout. A food thermometer is the reliable way to tell.

The useful detail

Slice tofu thinly so the topping warms before the bread dries out. In thick slabs the middle is still cold when the flatbread has gone hard.

Make it work for you

One serving is One flatbread. You can switch to a smaller portion in the ingredients above; it is three quarters of this, and it contains correspondingly less energy and protein. It is an option, not a goal.

  • Butter beans instead of cannellini

    Creamier to spread. The figures use the same record.

    Per serving: about the same energy, about the same protein, about the same fat.

  • Pita instead of flatbread

    Thinner and crisper, and it bakes a little faster.

    Per serving: about 15 kcal less, about the same protein, about 2 g less fat.

  • Mozzarella instead of tofu, if you are not vegan

    Use about 100 g. It melts, which tofu does not.

    Per serving: about 30 kcal less, about 7 g less protein, about 2 g less fat.

    Allergens: Adds milk; removes soya.

Estimated nutrition

Per standard serving, calculated from the ingredients above. Nutrition changes with substitutions, brands and how much oil stays in the pan.

A vegan flatbread lunch where the tofu and beans together carry the protein. Check the flatbread if you need it dairy-free: many contain milk or yoghurt.

Show calculation notes

Each ingredient’s weight is multiplied by its USDA FoodData Central values per 100 g. The whole recipe is added up and divided by 2. Raw weights are used for meat, fish and vegetables; beans and lentils are drained weights. All of the oil is counted as eaten. Added salt is not included; sodium from stock, bread, cheese and tinned food is.

Storage and reheating

In the fridge
Cool, cover and refrigerate within 2 hours of cooking. Eat within 3 to 4 days. Best eaten fresh; the bread softens as it cools.
In the freezer
Freezing keeps food safe indefinitely; the texture is best if it is eaten sooner rather than later.
Reheating
Reheat until it reaches 74°C / 165°F, steaming hot throughout.

Checked against US Food and Drug Administration, Refrigerator and Freezer Storage Chart, USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service, Leftovers and Food Safety, FoodSafety.gov, Safe Minimum Internal Temperatures and FoodSafety.gov, Cold Food Storage Chart. UK guidance from the Food Standards Agency is shorter, at two days for most leftovers.
