Ingredients

Makes 4 Servings


  • extra-firm low-fat tofu (16 oz (434 g))
  • garlic (1 clove)
  • onion, diced (1/2 c (120 g))
  • green pepper, diced (1/2 c (120 g))
  • red pepper, diced (1/2 c (120 g))
  • mushrooms, chopped (3/4 c (180 g))
  • turmeric powder (1/4 tsp (1.2 mL))
  • cumin powder (1 tsp (5 mL))
  • black pepper (3/4 tsp (3.75 mL))
  • salt (1 tsp (5 mL))

Directions

  1. Add 1/4 c (60 mL) water to large saute pan. Once heated, add onion.



  2. When the aroma releases from the onion and it starts to become translucent, add garlic. Cook for 2 minutes, add peppers and mushrooms and add more water if vegetables are sticking to the pan. Cook for about 4 minutes or until vegetables are tender.



  3. Crumble tofu with hands and add to pan along with turmeric, mixing well. Add cumin powder, pepper, and salt, then cook for another 4-6 minutes until everything is cooked through.



  4. Serve with whole-grain toast or on a warm corn tortilla.
