Tofu Scramble & Advice For A Picnic

  1. In a small prep bowl, combine the nutritional yeast, turmeric, curry powder, cumin, garlic, salt & pepper. Set aside.
  2. Heat the oil in a large cast-iron (or other heavy, well-seasoned) skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil begins to shimmer, crumble in the tofu (mashing with a potato masher is also nice), and saute, stirring frequently, until you get a little golden color here and there. Sprinkle in the spice mixture and stir until throughly coated.
  3. Pour in the tomato puree, things will boil, sizzle and the pan will deglaze. Continue cooking, stirring constantly until all of the liquid has been absorbed or evaporated.
  4. Reduce heat to medium-low, and add the feta, stir to mix and melt. The feta should be melted away into the 'sauce' and disappear completely, this will only that a minute or two. Toss in the scallion, stir to incorporate, remove from heat. Taste. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
  5. *For your picnic, the really brilliant use for this scramble is:
  6. Make the filling: In a large bowl, gently combine the avocado pieces and the tofu scramble. Season to taste with salt and pepper, you might also like some additional feta.
  7. Wrap the filling in the tortillas, burrito-style, closing both ends. Fix with toothpicks, placed roughly to mark out thirds. Cut the wraps crosswise, in half, on a slight diagonal at the middle.
  8. Pack in wax-paper baggies, two halves per, folded over at the ends and held with a bit of kitchen twine or a pretty-colored small elastic, of the type used for bundling herbs and scallions. Pack sweetly in your favorite basket lined with a pretty kitchen towel.
  9. Voila!
