About 50 min · 595 kcal · 40 g protein per serving
Warm flatbreads with tofu, tomatoes and a creamy white bean spread.
Check off ingredients as you go.
Contains gluten, soya. Check the labels on packaged ingredients:
Heat the oven to 200°C / 400°F (180°C fan).
Mash the beans with half the oil and a splash of water until spreadable, and spread the mixture over the flatbreads.
Lay the tofu and tomato slices over the top, scatter with the oregano and spoon the rest of the oil over.
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.
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.
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.
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.
