Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1

    Start by pressing the firm tofu for about 10 minutes to remove excess moisture. Once pressed, crumble the tofu into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and red bell pepper, sautéing for about 5 minutes until softened.

  3. 3

    Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Stir in the crumbled tofu, turmeric powder, nutritional yeast, black salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  5. 5

    Add the chopped spinach and halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the spinach is wilted and the tomatoes are slightly softened.

  6. 6

    Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
