Tofu scrambles are a staple, and when preparing these one dish wonders, anything goes. This one includes chipotle spiced sweet potatoes and beet greens from my garden; spinach, swiss chard or any quick cooking greens would work. No sweet potato? Use a russet potato instead. Although I prefer to use silken tofu (extra firm) in scrambles, I was out so I used regular firm tofu instead. No rules, just yum.
INGREDIENTS
1 sweet potato, peeled and cut into small cubes
1/4 red onion, chopped
1/2 tsp chipotle powder
1/4 ground coriander
15 oz firm tofu, drained & pressed
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp tumeric
6 cups greens of choice, chopped
2 green onions, sliced
1 avocado, cubed(optional)
Salsa for serving if desired
Salt & pepper
DIRECTIONS
1. Place a large skillet over medium high heat with a little oil. Add sweet potatoes and onions. Season with chipotle powder and coriander. approximately 6 to 7 minutes. Season well with salt and pepper. Remove from skillet and set aside.
2. While sweet potatoes are cooking, place tofu into a bowl, then mash gently. Season with tumeric, cumin, salt and pepper. Mix gently.
3. Once potatoes are cooked, return skillet to medium high heat. Add additional 1 Tbsp oil. Cook tofu undisturbed for 5 minutes so bottom can brown a little. Stir tofu.
