Oil
Pita
Some salad, olive oil and lemon
Yoghurt, cucumber and lemon
Chillies
Pickled red onions
Method:
Start by mixing together your spices. Add a glug of oil to your mushrooms and then sprinkle the spices on top. Mix well to coat every bit of the mushies.
Now grab a skillet and a bit of oil add in the mushrooms. Add something heavy on top, like another pan or a bowl and press down, let cook for 3-4 mins until charred slightly and then flip the mushrooms and repeat the process.
Now mix together your salad ingredients in a bowl and your yoghurt ingredients in another bowl.
Heat up your flatbread, load on the salad and yoghurt, then the mushroom shawarma and then top with Chillies and pickled red onions and ENJOY!!
Soooooo, I may have seen something that bee post with like a million notes. I suddenly can't find it, but if you haven't seen it, it basically amounted to "vegans can eat honey. it doesn't hurt the bees. They actually prefer it. They make too much and it means a giant ape protects them from predators and the elements. It's a win win. They could leave at any point but they don't unless their beekeeper is doing a bad job taking care of them. Them staying the closest thing to consent for use of an animal product as you can get."
Obviously, big companies still do things that we shouldn't ignore, but local bee keepers and hobby beekeepers often treat their 20,000-80,000 little pets very well. (Obviously, you should still judge on an individual basis)
Anyway, I may have spent an hour and a half making this:
It's supposed to be a Twitter header kinda thing. Feel free to use it! (Let me know if you do? You don't have to, I just like knowing when people like my art :)
Extra-firm tofu (no need to press it; just break it apart into scramble-like pieces)
Turmeric (optional; for colour)
Onion Powder
Garlic Powder
Nutritional Yeast (or cheese)
Salt
Your choice of vegetables
Method:
Drain the tofu, then break it apart using your hands or a couple of forks until it resembles scrambled eggs.
In a bowl, mix together the tofu, nutritional yeast, garlic, onion, salt, turmeric, paprika, and pepper. Let it sit for 5 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Sauté the tofu on medium-low heat until hot (about 8-10 minutes). You can use a nonstick pan without oil, but if you prefer, use 1-2 teaspoons of oil.
Roast and serve with your favourite vegetables (think tomatoes, spinach, mushrooms, or zucchini)
Variations:
Veggie Variations:
➔ Spinach and Tomato: Sauté spinach and cherry tomatoes with garlic before adding the tofu. The vibrant colors and flavors will elevate your scramble.
➔ Bell Peppers and Onions: Dice bell peppers and onions, then cook them until slightly caramelized. Mix them into the tofu scramble for a sweet and savory twist.
➔ Mushrooms and Kale: Sauté sliced mushrooms and kale until tender. Fold them into the tofu mixture for an earthy flavor.
Spice It Up:
➔ Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce if you like some heat.
➔ Experiment with different herbs like fresh basil, chives, or parsley for added freshness.
Cheesy Goodness:
➔ Besides nutritional yeast, you can also sprinkle in some vegan cheese or dairy-free feta for extra creaminess.
Texture Play:
➔ For a crunch, toss in some sliced almonds or sunflower seeds.
➔ Crumbled vegan bacon or tempeh adds a smoky flavor and texture.
Serving Ideas:
➔ Serve your tofu scramble on whole-grain toast, in a wrap, or alongside avocado slices.
➔ Top with a dollop of vegan sour cream or a sprinkle of chopped green onions.
