Ingredients
Tofu Scramble
- 350g extra firm tofu
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1/2 red onion, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 2 green chilli
- 1 1/2 tsp curry powder
- 1 tsp cumin powder
- 1/2 tsp garam masala
Garnish
- 1/3 cup cilantro
- 1 tbsp juice of lemon
Directions
For the Scramble
- Remove the excess water from the tofu. After that, dry it with a clean kitchen towel. In the meantime, prepare the other ingredients for the recipe.
- Using a fork, break up the tofu and set it aside.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add one tablespoon olive oil. Add the garlic, onion, and lightly brown them in a pan.
- Stir in the red pepper and sauté for a few minutes, if you prefer them crunchy. If you like them softer, cook for a further two minutes.
- Sprinkle the spices and salt over the red pepper mixture along with the chillies and stir gently.
- Now add the crumbled tofu to the pan and mix thoroughly. Cook for another about five minutes, allowing all the flavours to combine.
To Serve
- Garnish with lemon juice and cilantro.
- Best served whilst hot, with wholegrain toast, roti, quinoa, salad or potatoes. Enjoy!
