Categories     main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon canola or vegetable oil
8 ounces diced boneless country ham
1/2 cup diced roasted red peppers
12 large eggs, whisked until well blended
4 ounces grated Jarlsberg cheese (recommended: Kenny's Country)
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Heat a nonstick 12-inch saute pan over medium heat. Add butter and oil and swirl around the pan until melted. Add the country ham and saute until it begins to brown, about 3 minutes. Turn heat to low. Stir in roasted red peppers and beaten eggs. After the eggs begin to set, stir slowly from edge to edge with a heat-resistant rubber spatula until large curds form. This will take 5 minutes or so. When eggs are still moist and slightly runny, fold in the grated cheese and season with salt and pepper.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and serve with fried green tomatoes and buttermilk biscuits with sorghum butter.

THE BEST TOFU SCRAMBLE



The Best Tofu Scramble image

If you like a softly scrambled egg on toast, you're going to love this soft-scrambled tofu recipe. The secret is the addition of Indian black salt (also known as kala namak or black lava salt), which has an egglike flavor and is available online or at specialty food stores. Because it is lower in sodium, we round out the dish with a little kosher salt too. We like our scramble on toast but it would also make a great filling for a vegan breakfast burrito.

Time 20m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

One 16-ounce block soft tofu, drained
1/2 teaspoon Indian black salt
1/8 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 tablespoon vegan butter
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 slices bread
1/4 cup shredded vegan Cheddar-style cheese (about 2 ounces)

Steps:

  • Gently wrap the tofu in a clean kitchen towel or a double layer of paper towels to blot out excess moisture. Place the tofu in a medium bowl. Add the black salt and turmeric and stir well with a fork, crumbling the tofu and fully combining the spices.
  • Melt the vegan butter in a medium nonstick pan over medium-high heat, swirling the pan to coat evenly. Add the tofu mixture and spread it out evenly in the pan using a rubber spatula. Season with a pinch of kosher salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook undisturbed until the edges begin to turn yellow from the turmeric and some moisture is bubbling up, about 1 minute 30 seconds.
  • Gently stir the scramble, folding the cooked side over and redistributing the tofu to allow it to cook in an even layer. Continue to cook, stirring every 1 minute 30 seconds, until most of the moisture is evaporated and the tofu is the consistency of custardy scrambled eggs, 7 to 9 minutes. As it simmers, more liquid will bubble up and then it will dry out and the scramble will turn a uniform pale yellow color.
  • Meanwhile, toast the bread. Divide the scramble between the bread slices and top each with half the vegan cheese.

Time 25m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

One 14-ounce package firm tofu, drained and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper, optional
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 scallions, thinly sliced, green and white parts separated
5 ounces fresh spinach, chopped (about 5 packed cups)
1 to 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup fresh basil, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Combine the tofu, turmeric, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and cayenne, if using, in a medium bowl. Toss well to combine and set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the scallion whites and cook, stirring, until soft, about 1 minute. Add the tofu mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until the tofu is lightly browned and resembles scrambled eggs, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the spinach, lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon salt and stir until the spinach is wilted, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and scallion greens and stir until the tomatoes are just heated through and begin to soften, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat, add the basil and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
