TOFU GREEN BEAN BREAKFAST SCRAMBLE

Repeat after me: Don't scramble your eggs, scramble your tofu! This splendid breakfast dish is one of my all-time favorite ways to eat tofu. Oh, what's that? You hate tofu? This is the dish that has converted all of my tofu-skeptic friends. It's based on a classic Northern Indian breakfast my dad remembers from his childhood, originally involving crumbled paneer sauteed with spices and green beans and usually eaten atop toast. When my parents immigrated to America and my dad was craving this dish, tofu was my mom's workaround after not being able to find paneer anywhere. What she ended up discovering was how wonderfully light and bouncy the crumbled tofu gets, and how nicely that complements the crunch of the green beans. This dish is essentially a doppelganger for scrambled eggs, thanks to the yellow color of the turmeric and the vaguely eggy, umami-like taste of the chaat masala. But tofu does a far superior job than eggs at really absorbing the flavor of the spices-plus, it's a lot harder to overcook tofu.

Steps:

  • Warm the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the cumin seeds and cook until they turn a medium shade of brown, about 1 minute max. Swirl the turmeric into the oil, then add the green beans, salt and chile. Reduce the heat to low, cover and cook until the green beans are just barely soft (they should still retain a bit of firmness), 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Add the crumbled tofu and mix well, then increase the heat to medium and cook, uncovered, until the tofu has softened slightly and turned bright yellow from the turmeric, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat and mix in the lime juice and chaat masala. Taste and adjust the lime juice, chaat masala and salt before serving if needed.

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons cumin seeds
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 pound fresh green beans, ends trimmed, cut into 1-inch pieces, or frozen cut green beans (about 2 cups)
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more if needed
1 small Indian green chile or serrano chile, finely chopped
One 14-ounce package firm tofu, drained and crumbled into small pieces (think scrambled eggs for texture)
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (from about half a lime), plus more if needed
2 teaspoons chaat masala, plus more if needed

  • Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and gently fry the onion for 8 -10 mins or until golden brown and sticky. Stir in the garlic, turmeric, cumin and paprika and cook for 1 min.

Raise the heat, then tip in the tomatoes, cooking for 5 mins more or until they begin to soften. Fold the parsley through the mixture. Serve on its own or with toasted rye bread (not gluten-free), if you like.

  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium high heat. Add the onion and zucchini. Cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes, or until the onion is clear and the zucchini is soft and cooked through.
  • While the vegetables cook, crumble the tofu with your hands, so that there are still some visible pieces, but it's broken up quite thoroughly. If you're using frozen spinach, add it to the tofu now.
  • When the zucchini is ready, add the tofu and spinach to the skillet, along with the tahini, nutritional yeast, turmeric, and a few tablespoons of water (3 or so). If you're using fresh spinach, add it now. Mix everything well, and heat it for a few minutes, till it's warmed through and the spinach is fully cooked. Season the mixture to taste with salt and pepper. Serve.
