Spanish Tofu Scramble

If you’re vegan and miss eggs a scramble is a great thing to make. This recipe is so simple and you probably have all the ingredients in your kitchen already.

I used Sainsbury’s chorizo shroomdogs for this recipe but there are a few other chorizo products on the market you could use. You could also use vegan sausages, tempeh or just veggies. If you’re a celiac or you’re following a gluten-free diet, use chorizo made with soy.

Himalayan black salt tastes just like eggs and works so well in this recipe. I love its eggy taste. If you can’t find it, don’t worry, the scramble will taste amazing with regular salt too.

I added turmeric powder to make it yellow and ‘egg like’, but you can use paprika or saffron instead to get the golden colour.

You can press the tofu before cooking it, but it’s not necessary and the tofu I used works very well for this reason.

Traditional Spanish scramble is made with potatoes as well but I didn’t have any and the recipe is also healthier with veggies instead. I also love the colour the peppers and spinach bring to the recipe.
