Title: Scrambled Tofu
Categories: Vegetarian
Yield: 2 Servings

1	tb	Olive or canola oil
1	lg	Onion peeled & coarsely chopped
2	lg	Garlic cloves peeled & finely chopped
6		Scallions; thinly sliced, (keep white & green parts separ
1/4	lb	Mushrooms; thinly sliced
1	sm	Red bell pepper seeded and diced
1	lb	Silken or soft tofu; drained mashed or crumbled
1/2	ts	Dried leaf oregano
1/4	ts	Tumeric (optional)
1/4	c	Finely chopped green olives (pitted)
1		Sheet nori sea vegetable finely shredded (optional)
		Tamari or soy sauce to taste
		Freshly ground black pepper
		Hot sauce (optional)

Great for brunch or a light supper dish, this recipe can easily be doubled to serve 4 to 6. Silken tofu results in a very soft-cooked texture, while soft tofu will be slightly firmer.

NOTE: Tumeric will give a faint yellow color to the mixture, but will not contribute significantly to the taste.

DIRECTIONS: In a large skillet or wok, heat the oil and saute the onion, garlic, and white of scallions until the onions turn light brown, about 4 to 5 minutes.

Add the mushrooms, red pepper, tofu, oregano, and tumeric (if using), and continue to saute over medium-high heat for another 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in the scallion greens, olives, nori (if using), soy sauce and pepper to taste. Pass optional hot sauce.
