Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 oz Firm tofu (pressed and crumbled)
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Yellow onion (finely chopped)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 medium Bell pepper (diced)
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 2 cups Spinach (fresh, chopped)
- 1 tsp Turmeric powder
- 0.5 tsp Ground cumin
- 2 tbsp Nutritional yeast
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1 serving Optional garnishes: avocado slices, fresh herbs (such as parsley or cilantro)
Instructions
Press the tofu for about 10 minutes to remove excess moisture, then crumble it into small pieces using your hands or a fork. Set aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until it becomes translucent and fragrant.
Stir in the minced garlic and diced bell pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bell pepper softens slightly.
Add the crumbled tofu to the skillet, stirring well to combine with the vegetables.
Sprinkle the turmeric powder, ground cumin, nutritional yeast, salt, and black pepper over the tofu mixture. Stir to evenly distribute the seasonings, and cook for another 5-7 minutes, allowing the tofu to absorb the flavors.
Toss in the halved cherry tomatoes and chopped spinach. Cook for 2-3 more minutes, just until the spinach wilts and the tomatoes are slightly softened.
Taste and adjust the seasoning, if needed. Add more salt, pepper, or nutritional yeast as desired.
Remove the skillet from the heat and serve the tofu scramble warm.
Garnish with optional avocado slices or fresh herbs for a pop of color and added flavor.
