Weekend Brunch: Greek Scrambled Tofu

We have a lot planned this weekend. Friday night we attended the Public Works Speaker Series and today we’re going to the Hideout Block Party. This morning we made one of my favorite breakfasts, Greek scrambled tofu, from one of my all-time favorite cook books, How it all Vegan!

Ingredients:

1 package firm tofu, crumbled
1-2 tbsp soy sauce

dried oregano (to taste)
splash of olive oil
1/2 fennel bulb, shredded
handful of sun-dried tomatoes
1/2 cup spinach

In a large saucepan, add the tofu, fennel, soy sauce, turmeric, pepper, and oregano to a splash of oil and sauté on medium-high heat for 10-12 minutes until moisture has evaporated. Add the sun-dried tomatoes and spinach. Cover and cook for 2-4 minutes, until spinach is tender. Makes 2-4 servings.

Weekend Brunch: Holy Crêpe!

For the last week I’ve been rediscovering my love for all things French, by which I mean I’ve been watching a lot of films starring Louis Garrel and drinking wine.

I decided to try my hand at making crêpes. I found a basic recipe for whole wheat crêpes here. I stuffed them with chèvre, sun dried tomatoes, kalamata olives, and spinach.

Crêpe fillings

For my first attempt I used Ener-G Egg Replacer and almond milk, because I don’t usually keep eggs or milk in the house. The first batch was really dense, so I bought eggs, but kept the almond milk. The second batch was more successful, but still not as thin as I would have liked.

Even so, the crêpes tasted delicious. I will certainly have to try these again, with different fillings.
