I’m starting to realize that Mondays are becoming my cray cray (that’s Dawnspeak for crazy) days. Work and meetings right after and not a lot of breaks means there’s a lot less time to get creative in terms of putting dinner on the table. Thankfully, we are the proud owners of a large vegan cookbook collection, many of which have recipes that come together quickly. The oft-used and appreciated Appetite For Reduction is one such cookbook.
Having prepped brown rice ahead of time, I knew I needed to make some type of bean/tofu/protein side to make a meal with it. The Curried Scrambled Tofu with Wilted Arugula got my eye, and thankfully we had all the ingredients on hand to get it going even quicker, (we were starving by this point).
Tofu, curry powder and cumin all getting to know each other.
Add in the arugula, (or the mixed baby greens which also contained arugula, in our case!).
And finished! The spices gave a great color and the arugula added some needed green to the meal.
Add a grain, and you’ve got a super quick, spicy, healthful dinner on your plate in less than a half an hour. We added the max amount of curry recommended in this dish, and we both loved the flavor that it delivered. And though we served this dinner style, this scramble would be a great way to put a spin on your traditional breakfast/brunch scramble.
Do you have Appetite For Reduction? What are some of your favorite recipes to make from it?
BAH! I JUST made this tonight too! Was gonna blog it tomorrow!! (I added gravy, heehee, and peas… and rice… OK, so I changed it up a good bit…)
I haven’t looked at Appetite for Reduction for a while but my husband has been hassling me to make a curried scrambled tofu. I’ll have to check out recipe, it looks delicious.
I love Appetite For Reduction but I haven’t tried that tofu scramble recipe yet, it looks delicious. I’m in love with the split pea soup and the arabian rice & lentil soup from AFR and the stew with the potatoes is also a favourite in our house.
