Sweet potato Waffles and Scrambled Tofu with Sweet and Smokey Oumph!

This recipe can made without using a waffle iron, just form the sweet potato into rough Pattie and fry until crispy on each side. I think the waffles are fun and it you get a crispy outside and fluffy centre. Feel free to adapt the amount of chilli you use in the waffle mix, also you can add whatever toppings you like, avocado salsa is nice as is charred corn.

The Oumph! Is marinated to give it a sweet and Smokey flavour, similar to that of 'Bacon'. It can be used to fill sandwiches with sliced tomatoes and lettuce, ketchup and veganaise. Yum!

The great thing about Oumph! The chunk is that it will take on any flavours you add to it, it's a bit like a sponge. Made from beans and low climate impact.

Instructions

Pre heat the oven to 200Â°C.
Start with the Oumph! Pull the larger pieces of Oumph! Apart so you have smaller chunks. Add the rest of the ingredients to the bowl and stir to combine. Lay in one layer onto a line baking tray, place in the pre heated oven for 20minutes, stirring half way.
Turn the waffle on to heat up, if using.
Take the grated sweet potato and using a nut bag or clean t towel, squeeze out as much liquid as you can. You will be surprised how much you will extract.
In another bowl, add the rest of the ingredients and whisk together. Add the sweet potato to the batter and stir to combine.
When the waffle iron is smoking hot, oil very, very well on both sides. Add Â¼ of the sweet potato mix, and cook for about 7 minutes. Do not open early.
Remove the waffle when itâ€™s ready place on a baking tray, lightly cover with foil and place in the oven to keep warm whilst you make the others.
Check on the Oumph! And give it a little stir.
When youâ€™re ready to serve, Heat a frying pan with a little oil, crumble in the block of tofu, add the spring onion, black salt, turmeric and fresh pepper. Stir to combine and cook for a few minutes.
Add 2 tbsp. of stock and continue to cook until the tofu has absorbed it and is softening. Add a little more stock and continue to cook. You are look for a soft scramble thatâ€™s not too dry. When youâ€™re happy turn the heat to very low.
Add a waffle to each plate, top with scramble, sliced avocado, chopped tomatoes, Oumph! And finish with coriander leaves, sliced chilli and a wedge of lime.
