Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 block firm or extra-firm tofu, pressed and crumbled 14 oz
- 2 tbsp olive oil or coconut oil
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups fresh spinach
- 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
- 1/4 tsp black salt kala namak, for eggy flavor
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- Pinch of red pepper flakes optional
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1/2 large avocado, diced for serving
- Fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Sauté Aromatics: Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 3-5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Add Tofu and Seasonings: Crumble the pressed tofu into the skillet. Add nutritional yeast, turmeric, black salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir well to coat the tofu evenly. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes, until the tofu is heated through and slightly browned.
- Wilt Spinach and Season: Stir in the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Serve: Serve immediately, topped with diced avocado and fresh cilantro or parsley.
Notes
- Ensure your tofu is well-pressed to remove excess water for a better texture.
- Don't be shy with seasonings; Vegetarian Keto relies on bold flavors to make meals exciting.
