Ingredients:

1 tbsp olive oil
14g
1 block tofu
320g
1 cup chickpeas
240g
1 garlic clove
3g
3/4 cup cherry tomatoes
110g
2 tbsp sesame butter
30g
1/4 cup hummus
60g
1 tbsp soy sauce
18g
2 tbsp lemon juice
30g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:
- Drain the tofu and pat it dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Crumble it into bite-sized pieces.
- Drain and rinse the chickpeas.
- Mince the garlic clove.
- Halve the cherry tomatoes.
2. Cook the Tofu:
- 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.
3. Add the Chickpeas and Garlic:
- 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.
4. Incorporate the Tomatoes:
- Gently stir in the halved cherry tomatoes.
- Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes start to soften.
5. Prepare the Tahini Sauce:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the sesame butter (tahini), hummus, soy sauce, and lemon juice until smooth and well-combined.
6. Combine Everything:
- 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.
7. Serve:
- 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.

Congratulations on making your Tofu Tahini Scramble! Enjoy this flavorful dish on its own, or pair it with some whole grain toast or a fresh salad. It's a versatile, nutrient-dense meal that can easily be modified to suit your taste. Enjoy your healthy and delicious creation!
