Vegan "Fish" Fillet

Vegan fish? Oh yes, and it's goooood!!!

Just ignore the fries & sweet potato fries...those were the not-so-healthy portion of my meal...I love fries!!!

Vegan Fish Fillet

Ingredients:

1 Brick of extra firm tofu
1/4 Cup of Coconut flour
1/4 cup of Quinoa flour
1 1/2 cups Panko breadcrumbs
7 to 10 Kale leaves
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon nutritional yeast flakes (optional, but great if you have them!)
Black pepper to taste

Bit of soy milk
1-2 Tbsp olive oil

Method:

Drain and squeeze liquid out of tofu and throw into the freezer while you prepare the other ingredients.
Chop up the kale until it's in very fine pieces (diced or in a little chopper).
Combine kale with the rest of the ingredients besides the milk and oil and mix up until fully combined.
Remove tofu from freezer.  If it's not a little frozen or hard, put it back in until it really firms up.
Once the tofu is firm, slice it about 1/4 to 1/2 inches thick (depending on how many you are feeding.)
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Dip each piece of tofu into the soy milk then dip into the dry mixture and coat very well.
Fry the tofu on each side just until the breading becomes a beautiful golden brown and voila! Vegan fish fillet!!

You can also combine a bit of Vegenaise with some chopped up dill pickles to make your own vegan tartar sauce. (This was also amazing.)

Let me know what you think.
Happy cooking!
