Springtime Tofu Scramble

This vegan springtime tofu scramble is a jazzed up play on the classic plant-powered scramble. Mushrooms, yellow squash, leeks, and spinach are sautéed together in a skillet with coconut oil. Firm tofu is then crumbled into the pan of cooked veggies to create a texture that is nearly identical to scrambled eggs, and turmeric is sprinkled over to add a nutritional kick and a colorful yellow hue. But the ingredient that takes this tofu scramble to flavorful new heights is a pinch of truffle salt. It packs an eggy punch that brings out the best in these wannabe eggs

Herbed Cauliflower-Almond Patties | Vegan, Grain-Free, GF

These protein-packed, flavor-forward patties are made with a base of finely grated cauliflower and almond meal. Flax eggs and tahini moisten and bind everything together while herbs (cilantro, parsley), spices (coriander, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper), and other goodies (red onion, garlic, fresh lemon juice) create layers upon layers of flavor. I recommend serving the patties with a spritz of lemon juice, a drizzle of tahini or dollop of hummus, and a side of juicy tomatoes and crisp cucumbers. They're also delicious over a bed of peppery baby arugula that's been lightly dressed with fresh lemon juice and olive oil. For a comforting, sandwich-y twist, be sure to see this [https://www.blissfulbasil.com/herbed-cauliflower-patty-wraps-green-tzatziki/] recipe.
