rise and shine!

sunday mornings are reminiscent of brunch - be they home-made morning feasts or outings to our favourite spots around toronto. tofu scramble - one of the staples at a veggie brunch - is easy and quick enough to enjoy any morning though. and there are so many things you can do with it! this morning, i made myself some "huevos rancheros" inspired scramble.

this recipe is for one, but you can easily multiply and share the goodness with friends and family.

100g tofu (firm, crumbled)

1/4 red onion

1/2 yellow bell pepper

1/4 avocado

2-3T diced tomatoes or 1 small ripe tomato

salt, cumin, pepper and a dash of tamari (to taste)

cilantro or green onion for garnish.

saute the onions in 1t of olive oil until translucent, add the bell pepper and saute for another 2mins, add the tofu and fry for 1-2 mins, add the tomatoes, seasoning and cook until some of the tomato juice/liquid becomes absorbed (but don't let it dry out too much). add the avocado and tamari and cook for another minute or so. adjust taste with additional seasoning if necessary. serve with a little cilantro or green onion.

other easy versions:

shitake, broccoli - just add more tamari for flavour

curried carrot, yellow and red bell pepper and spinach (grate the carrot)
