Ingredients

 

Polenta

1 cup of yellow corn meal (polenta)

5 cups of water

1 tablespoon parsley

salt and pepper to taste

Spinach

5oz fresh spinach

1/2 tablespoon olive oil

 1 garlic clove, minced

salt and pepper to taste

Scramble

1 block of tofu

6 morning star veggie sausage links

1 tablespoon olive oil

4 oz muenster cheese

2 roma tomatoes

salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Polenta

Bring four cups of water to a boil.  Add the yellow corn meal and simmer.  You will need to stir the mixture very frequently.  Simmer this mixture for about twenty minutes, slowly adding the last cup of water throughout.  Add the salt, pepper and parsley.  Keep stirring :)  When the polenta begins to pull away from the walls of the pot, you are done.

Spinach

Place the olive oil and garlic into a cold pan.  Turn the heat to medium.  When the garlic starts to sizzle, add the spinach to the pan.  Toss the spinach around with the garlic.  (Make sure to not leave the garlic on the bottom of the pan or it will burn and make the whole dish bitter.)  Add the salt and pepper and cook for approximately 10 minutes.

Scramble

 Preheat the pan to medium heat.  Add the olive oil and veggie sausages.  Cook for about 5 minutes and remove the sausages from the pan, chop them into bite size pieces and return them to the pan.  Remove the tofu from it's container and dry off any extra moisture with a paper towel.  Cut the tofu into bite size pieces and add it to the pan.  Add salt and pepper.  Cook for about 15 minutes.

Now it's time to assemble the scramble.  Place 1 cup of cooked polenta onto the plate.  Add 1 1/4 oz of the spinach and a quarter of the scramble mixuture.  Add 1 oz of shredded muenster cheese and the chopped tomatoes.  Enjoy!
