Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound (454 g / 16 oz) firm tofu, drained and patted dry
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon (10 ml / 0.3 fl oz) ground turmeric
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml / 1 fl oz) neutral oil, like grapeseed or corn
  • 8 ounces (227 g / 8 oz) button or shiitake mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/4 cup (960 ml) chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
  • For a more rustic, crumbly texture, skip the food processor and simply crumble the tofu with your hands or a fork before adding it to the skillet.
  • To achieve a cheesy flavor without dairy, stir in 1-2 tablespoons (30 ml / 1 fl oz) of nutritional yeast along with the turmeric.
  • Boost the umami by adding a tablespoon of miso paste or a splash of soy sauce during the last minute of cooking.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like diced onions, bell peppers, or a handful of spinach for extra nutrients and flavor.

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Tofu: Place the drained and patted-dry tofu chunks into a food processor.
  2. Blend for 1-2 minutes until completely smooth.
  3. Add a generous pinch of salt, pepper, and the turmeric. Pulse a few times to combine everything evenly.
  4. Sauté the Mushrooms: Heat the neutral oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  5. Once shimmering, add the sliced mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and begin to brown, about 5-7 minutes.
  6. Combine and Scramble: Add the puréed tofu mixture to the skillet with the mushrooms.
  7. Cook, stirring frequently with a spatula, for 4-6 minutes, or until the tofu is heated through and has reached your desired scrambled consistency.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  9. Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with fresh chopped parsley, and serve immediately.
