Ingredients
- 1 14-oz. package extra- firm tofu
- 2 Tbsp. nutritional yeast
- 2 tsp. turmeric
- 1/4 tsp. smoked paprika
- 1/4 tsp. black pepper
- Pinch sea salt (optional)
- 2 Tbsp. plain, unsweetened soymilk
- 1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 green onions, sliced

- 6 oz. (about 2 1/4 cups) sliced mushrooms
- 2 cups loosely packed chopped greens (e.g., mustard, collard, spinach, kale)
- 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
Directions
- Remove tofu from package and press it by wrapping it in paper towels and placing it between two plates with something heavy on top for 5 minutes, to allow extra liquid to drain off tofu.
- Place tofu in bowl and break apart with your hands to achieve a crumbly texture. Mix in nutritional yeast, turmeric, smoked paprika, black pepper, salt (optional) and soymilk. Set aside.
- Heat olive oil in skillet and sauté green onions, garlic and mushrooms for about 5 minutes.
- Add crumbled tofu, chopped greens and sun-dried tomatoes and sauté just until greens start to wilt (about 2 minutes).
- Serve immediately.
