Ingredients
- 2 small vines cherry tomatoes or 2 medium tomatoes, halved
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 100 grams mushrooms or 2 large flat mushrooms
- 1 medium avocado sliced
- 4 handfuls spinach
- 4 whole vegan sausages
- 2 small slices bread
for the scrambled tofu
- 349 grams silken tofu (1 pack)
- 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
- ½ tsp ground turmeric
- ¼ tsp smoked paprika
- 1 clove garlic crushed or ½ tsp garlic granules
Instructions
- heat oven to 200°c (fan). Put the cherry tomatoes onto a baking tray, drizzle with 2 tsp olive oil, season and bake for 30 mins or until the skins have blistered and started to char (alternatively you can cook the tomatoes in a pan instead)
- cook the sausages following the instructions on the pack so they’re ready to serve at the same time as the scrambled tofu
- fry the mushrooms in a little oil until just starting to turn golden but not charred
- fry the bread in the frying with a little olive oil, or toast if preferred
- sauté the spinach with a little olive oil and sliced garlic if you wish, seasoned with salt & pepper. Scoop onto a plate and keep warm until serving
for the scrambled tofu
- crumble the tofu into a frying pan and sprinkle over the nutritional yeast, ground turmeric, smoked paprika and garlic with a good pinch of salt and pepper. Stir through to coat all the tofu. If the pan looks a little dry add a splash more oil
- fry the tofu for 3-4 mins or until the tofu is broken into pieces, well coated in the seasoning and hot through
- divide everything between 2 plates and serve
