This vegan-friendly recipe combines the rich, earthy taste of curry powder with the fresh flavors of tomatoes and onions, all brought together by protein-packed tofu. Whether you're new to plant-based cooking or a seasoned pro, this quick and easy recipe is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen.

Ingredients:

1 tbsp olive oil
14g
3 garlic cloves
9g
1 cup onion
160g
3 tomatoes
190g
4 tsp curry powder
8g
1 tsp salt
6g
1/2 tsp black pepper
1.05g
9 oz tofu
260g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients: Begin by preparing all the ingredients. Mince the garlic cloves, finely chop the onion, and dice the tomatoes. Drain the tofu and crumble it using your hands or a fork until it's broken into small pieces.
2. Heat the Oil: Place a large skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the tablespoon of olive oil and allow it to heat for about a minute until it shimmers.
3. Cook the Aromatics: Add the minced garlic to the hot oil and sauté for about 1 minute, stirring frequently, until it becomes fragrant but not browned. Then, add the chopped onion to the pan. Cook the onions for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become soft and translucent.
4. Add the Tomatoes: Once the onions are soft, add the diced tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes start to break down and release their juices.
5. Season with Spices: Sprinkle the curry powder, salt, and black pepper over the vegetable mixture. Stir well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed. Let this cook for about 2 minutes to allow the spices to bloom and meld with the vegetables.
6. Add the Tofu: Gently fold the crumbled tofu into the spiced vegetable mixture. Stir everything together, making sure the tofu is well coated with the curry spices and evenly mixed with the vegetables.
7. Cook Through: Continue to cook the tofu scramble for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. This allows the tofu to absorb the flavors and heat through completely.
8. Serve: Once the tofu scramble is hot and well blended with the spices and vegetables, remove it from the heat. Serve immediately as is, or pair with your favorite side such as toast, rice, or a fresh salad.

Tips:

- Drain and press the tofu before cooking to remove excess water; this will help achieve a firmer texture.

- If you prefer a spicier dish, add a pinch of red chili flakes or a chopped chili pepper to the scramble.

- Use fresh, ripe tomatoes for the best flavor and texture. Alternatively, you can use canned diced tomatoes if fresh ones are not available.

- Experiment with additional vegetables like bell peppers, spinach, or mushrooms to add more variety and nutrients.

- For a richer flavor, add a splash of coconut milk or vegetable broth while cooking the tofu scramble.

- Serve the scramble with a squeeze of fresh lime juice and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro for an extra burst of freshness.

Enjoy your curried tofu scramble with tomatoes and onions as a delicious and wholesome meal. It's a versatile dish that pairs well with a variety of sides such as toast, rice, or even a fresh salad. This flavorful scramble is not only satisfying but also packed with nutrients, making it a great addition to your recipe repertoire.
