Scrambled Tofu with Herbs and Cheese
From Gem's Vegetarian Cooking
Adapted from Deborah Madison's Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone p. 627.
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 16 oz Extra Firm Tofu*, crumbled
- 1/2 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 2 medium garlic, crushed or very finely minced
- 2 tbs fresh basil, chopped (fresh is preferred but 2 tsp dried can be substituted)
- 1/4 cup sharp cheddar cheese
- salt and pepper, to taste
Heat oil in non-stick skillet. Briefly saute onions. Add garlic and tofu. Cook over medium heat until tofu is nicely browned. Add basil, cheese, and salt and pepper. Mix well and then serve.
* I prefer White Wave Extra Firm Tofu
