Portobello Mushroom and Tofu BBQ Sandwiches
with tangy coleslaw

Active: 40 Total: 40

We featured a version of these simple, summery BBQ sandwiches in 2015, but we're bringing them back with store-bought sauce to make things even easier. We also swapped in a new tangy coleslaw that's great right on the sandwiches or on the side.

Make

  1. Heat a skillet with oil over medium heat. Add tofu and mushrooms and saute until the mixture is very dry and the mushrooms are starting to brown, 10 to 12 minutes. 

  2. Season the mushrooms and tofu with some salt and black pepper and cook for 1 minute more. Pour BBQ sauce over top and cook everything together for 2 to 3 minutes to let the flavors come together.

  3. Season slaw with salt. Taste and add more salt and / or pepper if needed.

  4. Toast hamburger buns.

  5. Assemble sandwiches by filling buns with tofu-mushroom mixture and pickles (if using). Add some slaw to the sandwiches if you’d like and serve the rest on the side. Enjoy!
