Serves 4 | Prep time – 20 minutes | Cooking time – 35 minutes

Ingredients:                                                                                                                           

• 280g Naked Tofoo
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 300g peas
• 3 tbsp vegan crème fraiche
• 800g potatoes such as King Edward
• 1 tbsp plain seasoned flour
• 100g self-rising flour
• 1 tsp dried seaweed, crumbled (optional)
• 100ml vegan ale
• Oil for deep frying

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/180Fan Gas 6. Drain the Tofoo and pat dry.
2. Peel the potatoes and cut into chips, bring a large pan of lightly salted water to the boil and cook the cut potato for 5 minutes, drain well then toss with the olive oil. Spread out onto a non-stick baking tray and cook in the oven for 30 minutes, turning half way through cooking time.
3. While the chips are cooking, cook the peas in a pan of boiling water for 5 minutes, drain and tip into a food processor with the crème fraiche, blitz until well combined. Heat gently.
4. Cut the Tofoo into four slabs and dust in the seasoned flour. Blitz the self-rising flour with the seaweed and add the ale, blitz again until you have a smooth creamy batter.
5. Heat about 8cm oil in a pan to 180°C. Take a piece of tofu and dip in the batter to coat evenly, carefully lower into the hot fat and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until golden and crispy. Repeat with the other three pieces.
6. Serve cooked Tofish with chips and a spoon full of peas, garnish with lemon wedges.
