Incredible Tofu Scramble
Ingredients:
-1 package extra firm tofu, drained and pressed -1 tablespoon olive oil
-1 medium chopped white onion
-2 cups mushrooms, of your choice (I like baby bellas and cremini), thinly sliced
-2 cloves garlic, minced
-1/4 cup + 2 tbsp.nutritional yeast
-juice of a lime + zest
Spice mix:
-2 teaspoons cumin
-1 teaspoon paprika
-dash of cayenne
-1/2 teaspoon tumeric
-1 teaspoon salt
Method:
1. Heat oil in skillet over medium-high. Saute onions until softened (about 4-5 min). Add mushrooms, saute 5 minutes more. Add garlic, saute 2 minutes more. Add spice mix and mix it up. Add 1/4 cup water and deglaze the pan, scraping the bottom to get all the garlic and spices.
2. Turn down heat to medium and crumble in tofu and mix well. Make sure not to pulverize the tofu, just fold it in gently. Let cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally and adding splashes of water if necesary to keep it from sticking too much. Lower the heat a bit if you find that it is sticking. Add lime juice and zest as well as nutritional yeast and mix it up. If it seems too dry add tiny splashes of water. (The moistness really depends on how much water the tofu was retaining before you added it.)
3. Serve with guacamole, avocado slices, or salsa. I also like to sprinkle with jalapeno hot sauce or chipotle Tabasco.
