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.

Did You Know?

Did you know there are many other meat substitutions for vegetarian dishes other than plain soy? One of them is a meat analogue, which is also known as a meat substitute, mock meat, faux meat, or imitation meat. A meat analogue is a manufactured product made from rice, mushrooms, legumes, tempeh, and/or pressed-tofu. Flavorings are also added to the finished product to make them taste more like real meats. The most common meat analogue products are hamburger patties and sausage links. Many other meat products are also available in vegetarian-friendly options. Some of the more creative ones I've seen are soyrizo (soy-based chorizo) and Tofurky Jurky (tofu-based jerky)!
