Tofu and spring vegetable frittata

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons oil + 2 tablespoons oil

• 1 medium onion, chopped into small cubes

• A cup of sweet peas

• 2 cups fresh spinach (can also be frozen)

• 2 teaspoons salt

• 1 teaspoon sugar

• 1 package of firm tofu

• 1/3 cup nutritional yeast

• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

• 2 teaspoons onion powder

• 2 teaspoons garlic powder

• 1/4 teaspoon turmeric

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. Over medium high heat, in a heatproof skillet, fry the onion with 2 tablespoons of oil. Fry for 4-5 minutes until onion softens. Stir occasionally. Add peas and stir. Fry for 2-3 minutes until the peas turn a bright green color. Add spinach and mix well. Add sugar and salt and mix well. Cook until spinach softens and remove the skillet from the cooking top.

3. Squeeze the tofu with your hands. Crumble it into pieces and place in a food processor. Add nutritional yeast, vinegar, spices, and salt. Blend until tofu is completely smooth. * If the texture of the tofu is grainy and refuses to become smooth, add a little oil or a little water. Transfer the tofu mixture to the pan and mix it with the rest of the vegetables. Smooth the surface of the frittata with a spatula and place in the oven for 45-50 minutes or until the frittata is nicely browned. Remove the pan from the oven and let the frittata cool slightly. Serve hot.
