Method

  1. Drain the tofu and squeeze out any excess liquid. Transfer to a bowl and crumble into small pieces; set aside.
  2. Heat a griddle pan over a medium-high heat. Season the mushrooms and drizzle with 1 tsp oil. Cook, stalk up, for 2 mins; turn and cook for a further 3 mins. Set aside; keep warm.
  3. Drizzle the tomatoes with 1 tsp oil; season. Cook, cut-side down, on the griddle pan without moving them for 2 mins, or until marked by the griddle lines. Turn and cook for 2 mins more. Keep warm with the mushrooms.
  4. Heat 1 tsp oil in a large nonstick frying pan over a medium heat. Stir-fry half the garlic for 1 min, then add the tofu and stir-fry for 3 mins. Add the turmeric and stir-fry for another 2-3 mins until mixed in. Season; remove from the heat. Put 300g into a sealable container and use for Tex-Mex bowls recipe.
  5. Meanwhile, heat the beans to pack instructions. Heat the remaining oil in the frying pan and cook the remaining garlic for 1 min, adding the spinach in batches to wilt; season.
  6. Divide the tofu, tomatoes, beans, mushrooms and spinach between 4 plates. Serve with the toast, buttered with the spread, if you like.
