Recipe for You

A fabulous recipe using a faux meat product!

"Bacon," Potato, and Green Onion Frittata

Ingredients
1/4 cup olive oil 1 onion, finely chopped
4-5 green onions, chopped with the green and white parts separated
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 medium potatoes, shredded
2 tsp. salt, divided
1/2 tsp. pepper, divided
2 lb. firm tofu
2-3 Tbsp. soy sauce, to taste
2-3 Tbsp. faux bacon bits (Bacos)

Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and the white part of the green onions and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic and heat for another 30 seconds. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the potatoes, 1 tsp. of the salt, and 1/4 tsp. of the pepper. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes, flipping the potatoes regularly until they are well-browned.
3. Blend the remaining salt and pepper, the tofu, and soy sauce in a food processor until they are creamy. Fold in the faux bacon bits, the green part of the green onions, and the fried potatoes and pour the mixture into a large, oiled pie or tart pan. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until the center is firm.
4. Allow the frittata to cool for 10 minutes then invert it onto a serving plate.
