Sunday brunch may be my favorite of all meals. Correction, it IS my favorite of all meals. I like the luxury of time I have to prepare---and enjoy eating!---the meal without having to worry about the rush to clean up and get back to work like during the rest of our week.Today I made one of my no-fuss standards: the scramble. Here's the ingredient list, but first, don't be put off by the tofu. My husband, a confirmed carnivore and previous tofu skeptic, even gives my scramble his endorsement.
Olive oil
Chopped onion
Chopped red and green pepper
Fine herb (or other seasoned) tofu, cubed
Egg, 1 per person
Smoked salmon
Tabasco sauce
Saute the onion, pepper, and tofu until the vegetables are soft and the tofu lightly browned. I use a 1.5 x 2.5 x 3/4-inch piece of tofu per person roughly. Pour the egg over the top and sprinkle with short strips of salmon. I use a small slice of salmon per person, so that the flavor isn't overpowering. Stir continuously until the egg is set. A few quick shots of Tabasco is the only seasoning required. Serve with a couple slices of crunchy toast and the Sunday paper. Enjoy!
