Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 oz firm tofu
- 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 0.5 tsp turmeric powder
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp onion powder
- 0.75 tsp black salt (Kala Namak)
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 0.5 cup vegan feta cheese
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 0.25 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp unsweetened plant-based milk
Instructions
Drain the tofu and gently press it between paper towels to remove excess water. Then, crumble the tofu into a bowl using your hands or a fork.
In a small bowl, combine nutritional yeast, turmeric powder, garlic powder, onion powder, black salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the crumbled tofu to the skillet and stir in the spice mixture.
Cook the tofu mixture for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until it starts to dry out and develop a slight golden color.
Add the plant-based milk and stir well to combine, allowing the tofu to become creamy.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts.
Finally, fold in the vegan feta cheese and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the cheese is slightly melted.
Serve hot, garnished with extra nutritional yeast or freshly chopped herbs if desired.
