Instructions

1 Start by marinating the hempeh. In a medium-large bowl, whisk together the maple
syrup and the liquid smoke until combined. Add the hempeh strips to the
marinate, making sure all the strips are covered in the marinate. Cover and
place in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes, or overnight. (longer the
better!) After marinating, add the hempeh bacon slices to an oiled pan over
medium-high heat. Cook on each side for 3 minutes, or until browned.
2 To make the pesto, combine all of the ingredients in a food processor and
process until smooth.
3 To assemble the sandwich, spread a layer of optional vegan mayo on the bottom
slice of bread, top it with a mix of arugula and basil, then the hempeh bacon,
slice of tomato and then spread the pesto on the top slice of bread and enjoy!
