One taste of this egg-free scramble and you’ll be hooked. Try the recipe exactly as author Gene Baur prepares it in his book, Living the Farm Sanctuary Life, below or make it your own by experimenting with different veggies and spices.
The Best Tofu Scramble You’ve Ever Had MAKES 4 SERVINGS TIME TO MAKE: 15 MINUTES
1 medium red onion, chopped 1 red, orange, or yellow bell pepper, chopped 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped 8 ounces sliced white mushrooms 1 pound firm tofu, rinsed, drained, and crumbled 1 cup nutritional yeast 1½ teaspoons salt 1 teaspoon ground black pepper 1 teaspoon ground turmeric 5 cups fresh spinach
In a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, add about 2 tablespoons water and cook the onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Stir frequently and add a 1/8” layer of water (it will steam off) to prevent the veggies from sticking. When the onion is translucent, add the mushrooms. Continue stirring and adding water as necessary. When the mushrooms boil down to approximately half their original size, reduce the heat to medium and add the tofu, nutritional yeast, salt, and pepper. Continue stirring frequently, mixing and adding water as necessary. When the tofu, spices, and veggies are mixed well and heated evenly, after about 5 minutes, add the turmeric and continue stirring and adding water to prevent sticking. After the tofu attains a uniform yellowish color, mix in the spinach, which will boil down to a fraction of its original size. Then enjoy! Variations: Feel free to add other veggies or more of the veggies listed above, which will make the dish less protein dense. You can also add vegan sausage, like Tofurky or Field Roast, if you want a heavier dish. Reprinted from Living the Farm Sanctuary Life by Gene Baur and Gene Stone, copyright 2015 by Farm Sanctuary.
