Tofu Scramble

I think I told Lu 1,000 years ago I would post a recipe for this - and never did. I NEED to say I am not a 'tofu lover'... I really do not like it much - but I love this recipe. I made it yesterday and it HIT me - so - sorry to Lu - here it is:


SCRAMBLED TOFU


1 onion - diced
2 cups of sliced mushrooms - whatever  you fancy
3 cloves garlic
1 pound of drained extra firm tofu
1/3 c nutritional yeast
1/4 c lemon juice
2 peeled and grated carrots


SPICE BLEND


2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp crushed thyme
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp tumeric
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 tap curry - or more to taste :)


Saute onions in olive oil until softened
Add mushrooms - cook another 5 minutes
Add garlic - cook another 3 minutes
NOW - add the spice blend and mix well. Add water to deglaze the pan. Its BEST if you use a cast iron pan :)


NOW - crumble your tofu... this should be in chunks. Cook until it starts to brown. If it sticks - add some water. I like the texture better if the tofu is slightly browned.... OK - so once its cooked to your liking - add the lemon juice. Mix in the nutritional yeast... If its a little dry (thanks to the yeast) add a little water. 


At the end - fold in the grated carrots. Nice splash of color and some extra veggies. I have also added spinach or zucchini to this recipe - extra veggies is always good,
