3 Tbsp (45 ml / 7.5 g) basil
4 tsp (20 ml) lemon juice
1½ small green chillies
1½ tsp (7.5 ml) sugar
1 tsp (5 ml) garlic, finely chopped
¾ C (180 ml) sunflower oil

For the Jaffles

margarine, for spreading
¼ C (60 ml) mild or spicy atchar
To Serve
micro herbs or coriander, to garnish (optional)
Method
To Make the Lentil Spread
Place all the ingredients for the lentil spread into a food processor, blend until smooth and season to taste.
To Make the Dipping Sauce
Place the tofu, water, coriander, basil, lemon juice, chillies, sugar and garlic into a food processor and purée until smooth.
Keep the motor running and add the oil in a steady stream until the mixture thickens slightly. Season to taste. Refrigerate until needed.
To Make the Jaffles
Preheat the oven to 200 °C.
Place the spicy meat-free burgers onto an oven tray and cook for 12 minutes.
Spread the slices of bread with a little margarine and then turn them over.
Spread a dollop of the lentil spread onto each slice.
Add the meat-free burgers to half of the slices and top with a dollop of atchar.
Close up with the remaining slices of bread (with margarine on the outside) so that you have 4 complete sandwiches.
Heat the jaffle iron over high heat and add a sandwich. Close the jaffle iron and cut off any bits which hang out over the sides.
Place the jaffle iron back on the heat and cook for 6-8 minutes, turning regularly until the jaffles are golden and crisp.
To Serve
Garnish with micro herbs or coriander (optional) and serve the jaffles with the dipping sauce on the side.
Tip: If you do not own a jaffle iron, simply use a toasted sandwich press or snackwich maker.
