- ¼ tsp turmeric
- ½-1 tsp black salt (Kala namak) or sea salt
- ¼ cube of no-chicken bouillon cube or ½ tsp vegetable bouillon
- ½ cup water
- 1½ blocks of medium tofu, drained (I used standard 454g blocks)
- 2 tbsp olive oil, divided
- 1 green pepper, diced
- 3 green onions, sliced
- 3 cups canned diced tomatoes, with their juices
- ½ tsp paprika (because I couldn't find dried Aleppo pepper)
- ½ tsp dried oregano, plus more as needed
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes
- ½ cup white vegan cheese of choice
- Sea salt and Pepper to taste
- ¼ cup chopped parsley (optional topping)
Instructions
- In a small bowl or blender, combine nutritional yeast, garlic powder, turmeric, black salt or sea salt, bouillon and water. Whisk or blend until combined and lump-free. Set aside.
- Heat a medium-size pan over medium-high heat.
- Crumble tofu with your hands and add to the pan. Cook for 3 minutes.
- Add broth mixture to the pan with the tofu, and cook without stirring for 4 minutes.
- Continue to sauté, stirring occasionally until the liquid has evaporated, about 5-8 minutes. Remove from the pan and place in a bowl.
- Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
- Add green pepper and cook for 2 mins.
- Add green onions, canned diced tomatoes with juices, paprika, oregano, and red pepper flakes and cook stirring until heated.
- Add vegan cheese of choice, and scrambled tofu to the pan and combine well. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the tofu is heat through.
- Taste and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Serve warm garnished with parsley and with toasted or crusty bread, and vegan unsweetened yogurt(optional) on the side
Afiyet Olsun!
