Ingredients:

Quantity Ingredient
1 Sweet onion
6 Zucchinis
2 – 3 Tomatoes
1/2 Extra firm tofu
1 Drizzle of oil

Instructions:

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Slice the sweet onion, zucchinis, tomatoes, and extra firm tofu into appropriate sizes for cooking.

  2. Saute Onions: Heat a drizzle of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced sweet onion and sauté until almost tender.

  3. Add Zucchinis: Once the onions are nearly tender, add the sliced zucchinis to the skillet. Cook until the zucchinis are just heated through, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.

  4. Incorporate Tomatoes: Add the diced tomatoes to the skillet, stirring gently to combine with the onions and zucchinis. Allow the mixture to cook for a few minutes until the tomatoes soften slightly and release their juices.

  5. Introduce Tofu: Finally, crumble the extra firm tofu into the skillet, distributing it evenly among the vegetables. Continue cooking for a few more minutes, stirring gently, until the tofu is heated through.

  6. Serve: Once everything is cooked to perfection, remove the skillet from the heat. Serve the zucchini tofu scramble immediately, either over rice for a heartier meal or with noodles for a lighter option.

Serving Suggestions:

  • Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for an extra burst of flavor.
  • Serve alongside toasted whole grain bread or a side salad for a well-rounded meal.
  • Sprinkle with nutritional yeast or vegan cheese for added richness.

Tips:

  • Feel free to customize this recipe with your favorite herbs or spices to suit your taste preferences.
  • For a protein boost, consider adding a handful of cooked beans or lentils to the scramble.
  • Make sure not to overcook the vegetables, as they should retain their crispness for the best texture.

Enjoy this nutritious and delicious Zucchini Tofu Scramble as a satisfying meal any time of day! 🌿🍳
