Peppers & Tofu Scrambler

[Guest guest]

This recipe is from " Vegetarian Cooking For Dummies " . I fixed it

last weekend for breakfast and I thought it was delish! It ain't the

real mccoy when it comes to scrambled eggs, but it's still good, if

you're one for tofu. :-) Since it's just me, I just halved the

recipe, & it still yields some decent sized portions.

PEPPERS & TOFU SCRAMBLER

 

Preparation time: 10 minutes

Cooking Time: 10 minutes

Yield: 4 servings

 

2 T. olive oil

1 medium onion, chopped

2 t. minced garlic

2 c. bell pepper strips (1 c. is about one normal-size bell pepper,

any color of bell pepper will do, but i find the nicest contrast with

red ones)

2-12 oz bricks firm tofu

1/2 t. black pepper

1 t. tumeric (this gives the tofu a yellow color reminiscent of

scrambled eggs)

1 T. soy sauce

salt to taste

 

1) Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Over medium heat, cook

onion, garlic, & bell peppers in the oil, stirring occasionally,

until the onions are transluscent and the peppers are soft, about 8

minutes.

 

2) Crumble the tofu into the onion-bell pepper mixture. Add the

black pepper, tumeric, and soy sauce & mix everything together wiht a

wooden spoon or spatula. Heat thoroughly, mixing & scrambling the

ingredients continuously, about 2 minutes.
