Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:

Serving Tip:
This faux ham is incredibly versatile! Try it sliced thin for a delicious sandwich, diced as a topping for pizzas, or crumbled into a tofu frittata for a savory, smoky kick.
Wine Advice:
For a ham substitute that’s this smoky and savory, you need a wine that can stand up to all that flavor. A crisp, dry white wine like a Sauvignon Blanc would be a fantastic choice. Its vibrant acidity and citrus notes will cut through the richness and complement the smoky, sweet flavors beautifully. It’s a pairing that makes a casual sandwich feel like a culinary event!
