1. Add the wedges to a baking tray with a drizzle of vegetable oil and a pinch of salt

1. While the potato wedges are cooking, cut your tofu into 6 nuggets per person

Press each tofu nugget dry with kitchen paper

1. Add a handful of flour to a plate

Combine your mayo with 1 tbsp [1 1/2 tbsp] [2 tbsp] water in a bowl

Combine your panko breadcrumbs with 1 tbsp[1 1/2 tbsp] [2 tbsp] vegetable oil and a pinch of salt and pepper in a separate bowl – this is your breadcrumb mixture

1. Coat the tofu nuggets in the flour, tap off the excess, then add them into your mayo until lightly coated

Press them into the breadcrumb mixture firmly to evenly coat all over

Add the breaded tofu nuggets to a separate baking tray and put the tray in the oven for 20-25 min or until golden and crispy – these are your crispy tofu nuggets

Once hot, add your tomato paste, drained cannellini beans, vegetable stock, BBQ sauce and 1 tsp [1 1/2 tsp] [2 tsp] sugar and cook for 5-10 min or until thickened to a baked bean consistency – these are your BBQ beans

Meanwhile, chop your chives finely

Serve the crispy tofu nuggets with the wedges and BBQ beans to the side
