Servings 2

Ingredients
  

  • 14 oz Extra firm tofu Drained but no need to press heavily
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil For sautéing
  • 1/2 cup Red bell pepper Diced
  • 1/2 cup Black beans Canned, rinsed and drained
  • 2 cups Fresh spinach Roughly chopped
  • 2 tbsp Nutritional yeast Adds cheesy flavor and extra protein
  • 1/2 tsp Turmeric powder Provides the yellow egg-like color
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp Kala namak Black salt; gives an authentic eggy flavor, or use regular sea salt

Instructions
 

  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the diced red bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
  • Crumble the block of extra firm tofu directly into the pan, breaking it apart with a spatula into bite-sized pieces so it resembles scrambled eggs.
  • Sprinkle the nutritional yeast, turmeric, garlic powder, and kala namak (or sea salt) over the crumbled tofu. Stir thoroughly to ensure the tofu is evenly coated and turns golden yellow. Cook for 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the rinsed black beans and fresh spinach. Continue to cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the spinach is fully wilted and the beans are heated through.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat. Divide the scramble into two bowls and serve immediately.
