Instructions:

- Drain and rinse the chickpeas.
- Mince the garlic clove.
- Halve the cherry tomatoes.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the crumbled tofu to the skillet, stirring occasionally, and cook for about 5-7 minutes or until it starts to become golden brown.
- Add the chickpeas and minced garlic to the skillet.
- Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the garlic becomes fragrant but not burnt.
- Gently stir in the halved cherry tomatoes.
- Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes start to soften.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the sesame butter (tahini), hummus, soy sauce, and lemon juice until smooth and well-combined.
- Pour the tahini sauce over the tofu mixture in the skillet.
- Stir well to ensure all the ingredients are evenly coated with the sauce.
- Let it cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Remove the skillet from heat.
- Serve the tofu tahini scramble warm, with your choice of sides or toppings. It pairs well with fresh herbs, a sprinkle of sesame seeds, or a slice of crusty bread.
Tips:
- Press the tofu before cooking to remove excess water. This will help achieve a better texture.
- Feel free to add in other vegetables like bell peppers, spinach, or onions for extra nutrition and flavor.
- If you prefer a bit of spice, consider adding a pinch of red chili flakes or a dash of hot sauce.
- Use a non-stick pan to prevent the scramble from sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Adjust the amount of soy sauce and lemon juice according to your taste preference.
