Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 oz Extra-firm tofu
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Red onion, diced
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.25 cup Kalamata olives, sliced
- 2 cups Spinach, chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 3 tbsp Nutritional yeast
- 0.5 tsp Ground turmeric
- 1 tsp Dried oregano
- 0.5 tsp Paprika
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
Instructions
Drain and pat the tofu dry with a clean towel. Crumble it into small pieces using your hands or a fork and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced red onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the crumbled tofu to the skillet and sprinkle with turmeric, nutritional yeast, oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to evenly coat the tofu in the spices.
Cook the tofu for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and heated through.
Add the cherry tomatoes, Kalamata olives, and chopped spinach to the skillet. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the spinach is wilted and tomatoes are slightly softened.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the lemon juice for a fresh, tangy finish.
Serve the Vegan Mediterranean Scramble warm, optionally garnished with fresh parsley or a sprinkle of vegan feta cheese. Pair with toasted bread or a side salad for a complete meal.
