Ingredients

• 14 oz Extra-firm tofu
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Red onion, diced
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 0.25 cup Kalamata olives, sliced
• 2 cups Spinach, chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 3 tbsp Nutritional yeast
• 0.5 tsp Ground turmeric
• 1 tsp Dried oregano
• 0.5 tsp Paprika
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tbsp Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Drain and pat the tofu dry with a clean towel. Crumble it into small pieces using your hands or a fork and set aside.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the diced red onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the crumbled tofu to the skillet and sprinkle with turmeric, nutritional yeast, oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to evenly coat the tofu in the spices.

Step 6

Cook the tofu for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and heated through.

Step 7

Add the cherry tomatoes, Kalamata olives, and chopped spinach to the skillet. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the spinach is wilted and tomatoes are slightly softened.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the lemon juice for a fresh, tangy finish.

Step 9

Serve the Vegan Mediterranean Scramble warm, optionally garnished with fresh parsley or a sprinkle of vegan feta cheese. Pair with toasted bread or a side salad for a complete meal.
