Scrambled Tofu

In the midst of holiday excesses, here's something pretty healthy that, still, tastes good! This particular version is neither vegan nor vegetarian, although it could easily be one or the other. I've been getting hungry for eggs, so I've been experimenting with scrambled tofu. Although it doesn't taste exactly like eggs, it's not half-bad, particularly with the right ingredients added!

 

Here's what I did:

 

8 oz. (half-package) firm tofu, crumbled

Finely chopped onion, garlic, green pepper, ham

Salt & pepper, to taste (I don't use either)

Dash of dried parsley, basil, dill weed, ground celery seed (or other seasonings, to taste)

1/4 tsp. tumeric (for color)

1 T. butter

 

In medium frying pan over medium-high heat, combine butter with all ingredients except tofu. Cook, stirring, until almost done. Turn down heat to medium-low, add tofu, mix well, cover & cook for 5 more minutes, until heated through. If desired, before covering, add 1 oz. crumbled cheddar cheese, for flavor. I chop all ingredients before starting to cook. Serves 2.

Done
