Ingredients

• 14 oz Firm tofu
• 15 oz Canned black-eyed peas, drained and rinsed
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 1 medium Red bell pepper, diced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Begin by removing excess water from the tofu. Place the tofu block on a plate and use a clean kitchen towel or paper towel to blot and absorb the water. This helps the tofu to better absorb the flavors of the spices.

Step 2

Crumble the tofu into small, scrambled-like pieces and set aside.

Step 3

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 4

Once the oil is hot, add the chopped onion and red bell pepper. Sauté for about 3-5 minutes, until the onions become translucent and the bell peppers soften.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Incorporate the crumbled tofu into the skillet and mix well to combine with the sautéed vegetables.

Step 7

Sprinkle the turmeric powder, cumin powder, salt, and black pepper over the tofu mixture. Stir thoroughly to ensure the tofu is evenly coated with the spices.

Step 8

Add the drained and rinsed black-eyed peas to the skillet, folding them gently into the mixture. Allow the black-eyed peas to heat through, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 9

Stir in the nutritional yeast, which will add a savory, cheesy flavor to the dish, and cook for another 2 minutes.

Step 10

Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 11

Serve your Low Fat Scrambled Tofu with Black-Eyed Peas warm, and enjoy your healthy and delicious breakfast.
