tofu scramble with browned potatoes and "holiday" sauce

minneapolis has this quaint little breakfast cafe, just a few short blocks from my house, that hasn't changed since the 1960s. the food is local and organic and the people who serve it up are just as organic as the grub. :) anyway, they have this one "earthy" breakfast that i decided i needed to recreate in my own kitchen. now, absolutely no disrespect to this great little neighborhood joint and its "earth" breakfast, but i think the one i made would give it a serious run for the money!

                         tofu scramble with browned potatoes and  'holiday' sauce

                        (a little play on hollandaise since it was valentine's day)

4 large russet potatoes - peeled and julienned (large)

1 package of wildwood super firm tofu

1 red pepper - diced

1 large shallot - minced

2 cloves garlic - minced

2 tbsp tamari

2 tsp turmeric

2 tsp onion powder

1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

1 cup earth balance

1 lemon

2 tsp flour

2 tsp red wine vinegar

1 onion boullion cube - crushed

1 tbsp fresh dill - chopped

fresh parsley

olive oil

salt and pepper

heat a large skillet to 350, add 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp earth balance, julienned potatoes, red pepper flakes and garlic. cook until potatoes begin to brown, then flip. brown the other side to your liking and then set aside in the oven to stay warm.

to the same skillet add 1 tbsp oil, your tofu (crumbled into large pieces), red pepper, shallots, tamari, turmeric, onion powder and salt and pepper. fry up until it forms a nice golden "scramble".

in a small saucepan on medium heat, add the remaining earth balance and begin to whisk. add your red wine vinegar, squeeze of 1/2 lemon, dill, onion boullion and slat and pepper. whisk it all together for about 3-5 minutes. gently add your flour and continue whisking until it become creamy and smooth. 

serve on the side or over your tofu scramble and browned potatoes...garnish with fresh parsley.

enjoy!

You must be talking about Seward Cafe, which is also one of my favorite places. I'm a pancake lover, but it can be tough to find light, airy flapjacks with no animal products. Seward's "vegan fluffy" is perfect!

Also, I've made your OMG bars twice since you posted them, and I'm making a third batch this weekend. Very exciting!
