Ingredients
  

  • 1 yellow onion diced
  • 1 teaspoon avocado oil
  • 1 red pepper diced
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 ½ teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon mild paprika or sweet paprika
  • 1 14-16 oz can of diced tomatoes
  • 1 ½ cups spinach
  • ½ 14 or 16 oz packet of silken tofu
  • ¼ teaspoon turmeric
  • salt & pepper
  • your favorite baguette/bread

Instructions
 

  • Over medium heat, sauté your diced onions with some avocado oil for 3-5 minutes (until translucent)
  • Add your diced pepper and minced garlic and cook for another 4 minutes
  • Add your paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper and mix together for 1-2 minutes until you can start to smell the flavors
  • Add the diced tomatoes, incorporate, and simmer until the sauce has reduced and is thicker (7-10 minutes)
  • Meanwhile, break ⅔ of your silken tofu into chunks and set aside. Break the last ⅓ of your tofu into chunks in a small bowl and add your turmeric. Mix together, this will be your "egg yolk"
  • Add your spinach to the pan and cook for another 2 minutes
  • Place your white silken tofu into 3-4 egg shapes on top of the tomato based and then add the turmeric egg yolk in the center of each circle to create an egg
  • Put the lid back on the pan and cook for 4-5 min so the tofu can heat up. Serve directly on your table and scoop up the deliciousness with your favorite bread!
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days
