Vegan Tofu and Spinach Scramble for Breakfast



The Breakfast most important meal of the day, and who am I to say? Eating a satisfying and healthy meal definitely seems like a great way to start the day, especially if it tastes great. These breakfast recipes definitely qualify.

Ingredients
  1. One 14-ounce package firm tofu, drained and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  2. 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
  3. Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  4. 1/8 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper, optional
  5. 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  6. 3 scallions, thinly sliced, green and white parts separated
  7. 5 ounces fresh spinach, chopped (about 5 packed cups)
  8. 1 to 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
  9. 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
  10. 1/2 cup fresh basil, roughly chopped

Total Time: 25 min, Prep:15 min, Cook:10 min, 2 servings.

Directions for Vegan Tofu and Spinach Scramble 

Combine the tofu, turmeric, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon salt and cayenne if using in a medium bowl. Toss well to combine and set aside.

Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the scallion whites and cook, stirring, until soft, about 2 minutes. Add the tofu mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until the tofu is lightly browned and resembles scrambled eggs, about 5 minutes.

Add the spinach, lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon salt and stir until the spinach is wilted, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and scallion greens and stir until the tomatoes are just heated through and begin to soften, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat, add the basil and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
