Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 pound firm tofu

1 cup water

2 tablespoons curry powder

2 tablespoons honey

1 teaspoon ground turmeric

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons canola oil

1 teaspoon cumin seeds

2 cloves garlic -- minced

1 medium onion -- finely chopped

1/2 cup red bell pepper -- finely chopped

1/2 pound mushrooms -- sliced

1 teaspoon dried oregano

 

Ben Davis Jr. is famous for his scrambled tofu breakfasts. This recipe

is a delicious variation on this basic theme.

 

Serves 8.

 

With your hands, crumble tofu into a large, dry skillet. Whisk one cup

of water with curry powder, hoeny, turmeric, and salt, then stir this

mixture into the skillet. Bring to a simmer over high heat. When

bubbling, reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until

liquid has evaporated and tofu consistency is as you like it (moist and

soft or dry and crumbly). This will take 15 - 20 minutes.

 

Meanwhile, heat canola oil in a skillet over medium heat. Saute cumin

seeds, garlic, onion, and bell pepper for about 5 minutes, then stir in

mushrooms and oregano and cook 5 minutes longer, until mushrooms have

released their liquid and are tender. Combine mushroom mixture with tofu

mixture and serve hot.

toast or Potatoes with Paprika and Chilies (page 348), and fresh fruit.
