Ingredients:

• 1 block (14 oz) firm tofu
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1 cup baby spinach, chopped
• 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley for garnish
• Whole-grain bread, toasted (for serving)

Instructions:

1. Start by draining and pressing the tofu to remove excess water. Crumble the tofu into small pieces using your hands or a fork, resembling scrambled eggs.
2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
3. Add the red bell pepper to the skillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes until it begins to soften.
4. Stir in the crumbled tofu, ensuring it is evenly mixed with the vegetables.
5. Sprinkle the ground turmeric, garlic powder, and cumin over the tofu mixture. Stir well to combine and allow the spices to toast slightly, enhancing their flavor, for about 1-2 minutes.
6. Add the chopped spinach, stirring gently until it’s wilted and well combined with the tofu scramble.
7. Season the scramble with salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning as needed.
8. Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the tofu scramble with fresh parsley.
9. Serve the tofu scramble with slices of toasted whole-grain bread on the side. Enjoy!

Helpful Tips:

• For a creamier texture, add a splash of non-dairy milk while cooking the tofu.
• Feel free to incorporate other vegetables like mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, or zucchini for added variety and nutrients.
• If you prefer a spicier scramble, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.

Storage Instructions:

Store any leftover tofu scramble in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of water if it becomes too dry.

Ingredient Substitutions:

• Replace baby spinach with kale or Swiss chard for a different leafy green option.
• Use nutritional yeast instead of cumin and garlic powder to add a cheesy flavor.

Pairings:

This Tofu Scramble pairs wonderfully with a variety of sides and drinks. Consider serving it with a fresh fruit salad, avocado slices, or a dollop of salsa for an extra burst of flavor. For beverages, a hot cup of herbal tea or a refreshing glass of orange juice will complement the meal beautifully.
