Bold flavors and layered textures make this vegan sandwich dinner-party-worthy: tangy-sweet tofu, quick-pickled vegetables and an aioli dotted with charred jalapeños, all mingling between toasted ciabatta rolls. Slicing the tofu into thick slabs makes for a substantial sandwich, and a simple combination of maple syrup and Dijon brings nostalgic honey-mustard flavor without the honey. Charring the jalapeños over a gas flame adds a smoky heat that contrasts beautifully with the sweet-tart tofu and the zingy, crunchy cucumbers and red onion. Baking the tofu is hands off, so that leaves plenty of time to whisk together the aioli, pickle the vegetables and stir up the glaze. It's an ideal sandwich for get-togethers, or any time you want a standout sandwich.
