Tofu Scramble

What makes the first rainy day of the fall complete? A brand new Vogue, a warm sweater, a good book, some indie music, and of course: some great food. I love the rain, and it makes for a great cooking night. First I made a delicious Tofu Scramble, and I then created a simple chocolate cake. Here's my tofu scramble recipe:

Tofu Scramble

Very versatile, and you can put in any vegetables or spices you'd like, but this is what I used:
Firm tofu
Olive oil
Onions
Shallots
Garlic
Paprika
Kalamata olives
Cumin
Oregano
Cinnamon
Red pepper flakes
Black Pepper
Sea salt

First, blot tofu with paper to dry it off a bit. Put olive oil in a frying pan (lightly coating it). Heat up (keep on medium high heat), and then crumble in however much tofu you'd like. Fry until golden brown, moving it around every now and then. While it's heating, hack up all your veggies. When tofu is turning golden, add the spices and cook for 2 minutes, then put in all the veggies and fry for another five minutes. Done!
