Scrambled Tofu with Veggie Sausage & Peppers
Tuesday, August 26, 2008
I'm not big on breakfast. On weekends I'll cook hot cereal but generally breakfast is a banana and a glass of juice. However this little recipe is so easy and satisfying that I even make it for lunch once in a while. I like to make this when traveling because it gives us a good amount of protein and energy for the days activities.
If you have been afraid to scramble tofu fear no more. It is fabulous when mixed with veggie sausage and peppers. The turmeric gives it flavor as well as that distinctive yellow color we find so appealing.
1 14-ounce block firm tofu
1 1/2 Tablespoons diced red bell pepper
1 1/2 Tablespoons diced green bell pepper
1/2 onion diced
2 vegan sausage patties, or 5 links, crumbled
3 red potatoes cooked and diced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
In a large frying pan heat oil until hot. Add peppers, onion, sausage and potatoes. Saute for 5-7 minutes on medium heat until onions are tender.
Push sauted veggies and sausage to one side of the frying pan. Crumble tofu into the other side of the frying pan. Add turmeric, salt and pepper and stir to coat. Stir seasoned tofu into cooked mixture. Heat through, stirring frequently for 2-3 minutes. Serve.

OMGOSH~!
I just had to mention this news article about a new "organic" (I'm sure it isn't Vegan) product out on the market in California and the Midwest. It is pancakes from a spray can.
According to Sci-Fi.com "Batter Blaster is different from previous spray-food incarnations because it combines a whole recipe's worth of ingredients— including whole wheat flour— into a bakeable (in the case of waffles) mixture. Just spray your pan or waffle iron with Pam, squirt out some batter, and five minute's later you'll have a 'homemade' breakfast."
I can't imagine that the word Organic on the label is going to be a huge selling point to those of us who are truly trying to live healthier lives.
