Baja California Tofu Scramble

I’ve been trying to come up with a tofu breakfast that I really like. This uses the mexi-cali herbs and spices we often cooked with in LA. The veggies I used were the ones I had on hand, but diced sweet potato, carrots, nopales (if you have that on hand I envy you!), or a tablespoon or two of corn kernels or black beans would probably also be tasty. I tend to eyeball herbs and spices, so the measurements here are best guestimates– add more or less to your own taste.

Baja Black Beans, Corn and Rice

A south of the border blend of textures and flavors. serve hot as a main dish or a side dish with grilled meat or chicken.

Lentil Soup

This is the version of lentil soup from Cyprus that my grandma used to make. It is very similar to the Greek one, and it is fully vegan.

Cypriot Split Pea Soup (Louvana) (Gluten Free & Vegan)

This is delicious with a side of fresh salad (baby romaine topped with gourmet black olives & goat milk feta cheese) for a lovely light meal. This is even good without the potatoes, I sometimes add more water in as well. From the Complete Middle East Cookbook by Tess Mallos.
