A nourishing and vibrant breakfast bowl featuring fluffy couscous, golden scrambled tofu, sautéed mushrooms, and fresh greens topped with avocado and cherry tomatoes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 7 oz firm tofu, drained and crumbled
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast (optional)
- 5 oz cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups kale, stems removed and chopped
- 2/3 cup whole wheat couscous
- Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
- Avocado, sliced for topping
- Cherry tomatoes, halved for brightness
- Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- In a heatproof bowl, mix the couscous with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Pour 3/4 cup of boiling water over this mixture. Cover and let it stand for 5 minutes. Fluff gently with a fork and set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the crumbled tofu, turmeric, smoked paprika, black pepper, and sea salt. Cook for 5-7 minutes until lightly golden. Stir in nutritional yeast if using, then transfer the tofu to a plate and cover to keep warm.
- In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil and the sliced mushrooms. Cook for 4-5 minutes until they start to brown. Add minced garlic and a sprinkle of salt and pepper, sauté for an additional 2 minutes.
- Pour in 1 teaspoon of olive oil, add chopped kale with a pinch of salt, and cook for 2-3 minutes until the leaves wilt.
- Divide the couscous between bowls, top with scrambled tofu, sautéed mushrooms, and kale. Garnish with parsley, avocado, and cherry tomatoes. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
