Tofu Scramble with Spinach and Tomato
From: Kaitlin M @ www.thegardengrazer.com/
Tofu scrambles have been my go-to breakfast on the weekend ever since finding out eggs and I have issues with each other. These are a fantastic replacement for omelettes and scrambled eggs. They're protein-packed, filling, and flavorful... with a big veggie oomph! Feel free to change around the spices. I'm a huge fan of cumin and smoked paprika so that's what I use. (Plus the turmeric and nutritional yeast which give it the yellow color.) You can even put this filling in tortillas to make breakfast burritos or tacos. Maybe with a little salsa or avocado on top? Now we're talkin'!
Ingredients
1 small onion
3 cloves garlic
2-3 roma tomatoes
1 lb. extra-firm tofu
1 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. smoked paprika
1/4 tsp. turmeric
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
Large handful baby spinach (or more)
Salt to taste
Directions
Dice onion and mince garlic.
In a large pan over medium heat, saute onion with a little salt for 7-8 minutes.
Meanwhile, crumble tofu and dice tomatoes.
Add garlic to the pan, and cook for 30 seconds.
Add crumbled tofu and tomato.
Cook about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. (Some may stick on the bottom but that's normal.)
While the tofu is cooking, put the cumin, paprika, and turmeric in a small bowl.
Add 1-2 Tbsp. water, and stir to combine.
Add seasonings and nutritional yeast to the pan.
Stir well to combine.
Add spinach and cook another 3 minutes.
