If the combination of creamy tofu and crunchy sourdough wasn’t enough, golden-spiced potatoes, garlic mushrooms and plenty of fresh spinach make a crisp hash for the perfect finishing touch along with a generous dollop of tangy mustard sauce.

Ingredients

Directions

  • 1. 

    Drain the tofu and pat dry with kitchen paper. Wrap in more kitchen paper or a clean tea towel and put a weight on top (a heavy pan weighed down with tins is perfect) to dry it out.

  • 2. 

    Meanwhile, bring a large saucepan of water to the boil, add the potatoes and simmer for 8-10 mins until al dente. Drain and rinse to cool a little. Set a large frying pan over a high heat and add the spinach. Cook until wilted, then transfer to a colander and squeeze out any excess water with a wooden spoon.

  • 3. 

    Melt 2 tbsp spread in a second large frying pan. Add the potatoes and 1 tsp paprika, season and stir-fry over a medium-high heat for 10-15 mins until the potatoes are golden all over.

  • 4. 

    Meanwhile, in the pan you used for the spinach, melt 1 tbsp spread and add the garlic, mushrooms, leek, thyme and some seasoning. Fry for 6-7 mins over a medium heat until softened. Stir in the spinach and tip the cooked potatoes on top. Set aside while you cook the tofu.

  • 5. 

    Wipe out the frying pan used for the potatoes, then melt 2 tbsp spread over a medium heat. Crumble in the tofu, then add the turmeric, onion granules and ¼ tsp paprika. Cook, stirring, for 3 mins, then stir in the miso paste and cook for 2 mins, mixing well to evenly coat the tofu.

  • 6. 

    Mix the Oat Fraîche with the mustard. Serve the tofu scramble on the toasted sourdough, with the shiitake hash and a dollop of the mustard sauce on the side.
