Ingredients:

• 1/3 to 1/2 lb firm tofu
• 1/2 to 1 tablespoon chopped garlic (to taste)
• 1 capful olive oil (or an adequate amount of oil/butter spray)
• 6 med. mushrooms
• 1 tomato
• 1 small grated carrot (provides texture and a bit of sweetness)
• Onion if desired
• Chili Powder
• 1-2 slices “veggie cheese” made from soy with NO animal products!

Directions:

Begin by placing garlic and small amount oil in medium saucepan on low to medium heat. Next dice tofu to desired thickness (I chop 1/4 a block for myself, and 1/3 to 1/2 for two) and add to garlic. Let the tofu soak up the flavor while you chop up the mushrooms, tomato, and onion (optional) , and grate the carrot-I often use a couple baby carrots because of exceptional sweetness! Add veggies to tofu in pan and let cook for a few minutes. At this point you can add chili powder as desired, I usually put in enough to give it a fairly red color. A small amount of soy or rice milk can be added to change consistancy, but not too much or it will be too liquidy. The last step is to add in 1-2 slices of a soy cheese (optional) to give it a creamy, cheesey flavor without any of the animal products!

Enjoy! This has become a morning standard for me!
