How to Prepare Mediterranean Tofu Scramble [Vegan]

  1. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the shallots and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes. Crumble the tofu into the pan. Cook, stirring gently until the tofu is not releasing any water and is beginning to brown on the edges, about 10 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, in a small cup combine the broth, basil, oregano, cumin, black salt, paprika, and turmeric. When the tofu has stopped releasing water, add the broth mixture. Cook for about 5 more minutes, until the tofu has absorbed the liquid. If it begins to stick, add another tablespoon of broth to deglaze the pan and reduce the heat.
  3. Add the nutritional yeast and lemon juice. Fold in the spinach, artichoke hearts, and sun-dried tomatoes. Cook until the spinach just begins to wilt. Remove from the heat, mix in the olives and capers, and serve warm.
