Ingredients

10 oz (300 g) firm tofu drained
1 can (425 g) baked beans
1 large onion sliced
4 garlic cloves minced
2 stalks scallion chopped
½ teaspoon (2 g) turmeric
1 teaspoon (5 g) thyme or basil
½ teaspoon (2 g) chipotle chile powder
2 tablespoons (30 ml) liquid aminos
2 tablespoons (30 ml) oil
salt and pepper to taste

Sides:

1 Ripe plantain sliced
Toasts

Instructions

Dice or crumble tofu. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet and add half the chopped onion, half minced garlic and scallion. Cook until onions start to brown.
10 oz firm tofu, 1 large onion, 4 garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons oil, 2 stalks scallion
Add crumbled tofu, turmeric, thyme or basil, chipotle, liquid aminos and salt and pepper to taste. Cook until the tofu starts to brown slightly then remove from heat.
1/2 teaspoon turmeric, 1 teaspoon thyme, ½ teaspoon chipotle chile powder, 2 tablespoons liquid aminos, salt and pepper
Heat the remaining oil and add the remaining onion and garlic. Cook until onion starts to brown then add the baked beans. Season with black pepper and cook for 2 mins then remove from heat.
1 can baked beans
To fry the plantains, heat oil in a skillet and add plantain slices, spacing apart. Cook until the edges start to brown then flip and cook to brown other sides. Remove from heat.
1 Ripe plantain

Notes

Using a non-stick pan is the best way to make this recipe oil-free. Otherwise it will be difficult to cook tofu without half of it sticking to the bottom of a regular pan.
To give tofu a more "eggy" flavor, try Black Salt or Kala namak. A little goes a long way so just a pinch or 2 would be good.
