This recipe combines the fresh flavors of tomatoes and spinach with the hearty texture of tofu, spiced with cumin, paprika, and turmeric for a hint of warmth and depth.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup onion
80g
2 garlic cloves
6g
2 tomatoes
120g
1 block tofu
460g
1 tsp ground cumin
3g
1 tsp paprika
2.10g
1/4 tsp turmeric powder
0.55g
2 tbsp yeast
14g
4 cups spinach
120g
1 dash salt
0.40g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Vegetables:
- Begin by chopping the onion and mincing the garlic. Dice the tomatoes and set them aside.
2. Prepare Tofu:
- Drain the tofu well to remove excess moisture. Crumble the tofu into small pieces using your hands or a fork.
3. Cook the Aromatics:
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a small amount of oil or water to the skillet, then add the chopped onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
4. Add Tomatoes and Spices:
- Add the diced tomatoes to the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.
- Stir in the ground cumin, paprika, and turmeric powder until well combined and the spices release their aroma (about 1 minute).
5. Cook Tofu:
- Add the crumbled tofu to the skillet and stir to mix with the vegetables and spices. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tofu heats through and begins to slightly brown.
6. Nutritional Yeast and Spinach:
- Sprinkle the nutritional yeast over the tofu mixture and stir well to combine.
- Add the fresh spinach to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the spinach wilts and is evenly mixed with the scramble (about 2-3 minutes).
7. Season and Serve:
- Add a dash of salt to taste and give the scramble one final stir.
- Serve the tofu, spinach, and tomato scramble hot, either on its own or alongside toast, avocado, or your favorite sides.

Tips:

- Press the tofu to remove excess water before cooking to ensure a firmer texture.

- Chop the garlic and onions finely for a more even distribution of flavor.

- Feel free to add other vegetables such as bell peppers or mushrooms to enhance the dish.

- Cook the tofu until it starts to turn golden brown to add a slight crunch to the texture.

- Taste and adjust the seasoning as you go, especially the salt, to match your preference.

- Serve the scramble with a side of whole grain toast or mixed greens for a complete meal.

This Tofu, Spinach & Tomato Scramble is not only healthy and nutritious but also satisfying and versatile. Enjoy it as a main dish, a hearty breakfast, or even a filling for wraps and sandwiches.
