Ingredients
Directions
Press tofu (optional).
Prepare the Lentil “Sausage”: Pulse the lentils in a food processor to break them up. Transfer to a small bowl, add the soy sauce and spices, and stir to combine. Taste and adjust seasonings. Set aside.
Place the tofu in a skillet and break it apart with a spatula into smaller, bite-sized pieces.
Cook over medium-high heat until the tofu starts to release its juices, about 3 minutes.
Add the spices, and stir to coat.
Continue to cook, stirring regularly, until any remaining liquid has evaporated, about 10 minutes.
Stir in the Lentil “Sausage” mixture to combine.
Divide scramble equally among 2 plates and serve.
Chef's Notes
Pressed Tofu
Wrap tofu in a clean kitchen towel. Place the wrapped tofu on a plate and set a baking sheet or cutting board on top. Add weight onto the baking sheet or cutting board (i.e. a heavy cookbook, a cast iron skillet, or canned beans). It should be enough to press down evenly on the tofu and squeeze out excess moisture. Let the tofu sit for 30 minutes, then remove the weights and unwrap.
Lentil Conversion
½ cup of dry lentils will make 1 cup cooked lentils.
Soy-Free
Substitute 2 potatoes for the tofu. Dice and roast and serve with Lentil “Sausage.”
Prep
Make ahead or make to order.
Double or triple the recipe to have breakfast on hand later in the week.
