Ingredients

  • 1 block Firm Tofu
  • 1 medium Diced Tomato
  • 1/2 medium Diced Onion
  • 2 cloves Minced Garlic
  • 1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder
  • 1 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
  • 1 tbsp Vegetable Oil
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Pepper

Instructions

  1. 1Place the 1 block Firm Tofu on a clean surface and press firmly with your hands to remove as much excess water as possible. Once pressed, crumble the tofu into small, bite-sized pieces in a bowl.
  2. 2Place a 10-inch skillet on the stovetop and heat over medium heat (350°F / 175°C). Add the 1 tablespoon of Vegetable Oil to the skillet.
  3. 3Add the 1/2 medium Diced Onion and 2 cloves Minced Garlic to the hot skillet. Sauté, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes, or until the onion pieces look softened and translucent.
  4. 4Add the 1 medium Diced Tomato to the skillet with the onions and garlic. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomato pieces have softened.
  5. 5Add the crumbled tofu, 1/2 teaspoon Turmeric Powder, and 1 tablespoon Nutritional Yeast to the skillet. Stir everything together well to coat the tofu evenly.
  6. 6Continue to cook the mixture for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. The tofu should be heated through and begin to show some light browning.
  7. 7Season the Perico Colombiano with salt and pepper to your preference. Stir once more to combine.
  8. 8Serve the Perico Colombiano hot.
