I often alternate scrambled eggs with tofu scramble. Tofu is a blank canvas when it comes to flavour and this recipe is made using classic Scandinavian tastes of pine nuts, red onion and fresh dill, served with gluten-free crackers. These are the flavours I love to share with friends and family in Stockholm. Here the tofu takes extra zest and character from chives and garlic. The addition of wholesome spinach and avocado means this breakfast will load you with good energy for the day.
Ingredients
Pine Nut Sprinkle
For the Tofu Scramble
- 14 oz (400 g) firm tofu
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 red onion, peeled, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped to a paste
- a large bunch of fresh chives, chopped
- a handful of fresh dill, chopped
- 5½ oz (150 g) spinach or other leafy greens, washed, finely chopped
- 2 avocados, stoned, peeled, cut into thin slices
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
To Serve
- gluten-free crackers
- cream cheese (or vegan cream cheese)
- a bunch of radishes, halved
How to Make It
- Mix the pine nuts, nutritional yeast (if using) and salt to a crumble in a blender or with a pestle and mortar. Set aside. Press the tofu between two plates with kitchen paper under the tofu to soak up excess liquid, then crumble finely using your hands or a fork. Heat a frying pan over a medium/ high heat. Add the oil and stir-fry the onion until transparent. Add the tofu and season.
- Add the garlic and herbs and stir for 2-3 minutes. Add the spinach and remove from the heat when it’s just wilted. Salt to taste. Divide the tofu scramble between four serving bowls. Top with avocado slices and pine nuts. Serve with crackers and spread with cream cheese and radishes.
