Cam’s Tofu Scramble

Ingredients

  • Two packages of firm tofu
  • Two Tofurkey Italian Sausages
  • Cilantro or basil, generous amount (choose either depending on desired flavor profile)
  • Garlic
  • Onions, diced
  • Tomatoes, diced
  • Brewers yeast
  • Salt
  • Optional additions: chopped zucchini, chopped bell peppers, cauliflower rice, Tortillas

Drain tofu and wrap in a towel. Stack a few heavy items on top of the tofu to drain the liquids from it. This takes about 15–20 minutes.

In a food processor, blend up the sausages, garlic, and herbs.

In a large pan, sauté onions.

Add sausage herb blend to onions. Hand crumble tofu and add to the pan. Stir together and add brewers yeast and salt to taste.

Add tomatoes and any other optional items.

Serve warm.

Note: Mindy makes it without the onions.

You can mix a big batch ahead of time and freeze it in mason jars. Then when you want to serve it just grab it out, sauté and add fresh tomatoes.

Betsy likes to make hers into Breakfast Burritos.
