I'm back from the Soul Siesta in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. I enjoyed eating rice and beans and fresh fish everyday, but I needed to get back to my 'healthy eating' regimne and I decided that I was going to cook a breakfast Hash that I saw on the "Cooking Yourself Thin" TV show.

For those who are new to cooking/eating tofu, this is a great way to start.

Sweet 'n' Spicy Breakfast Hash With Tofu
Serves 4
Calories per serving: 322

For the hash
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cup finely chopped red onion
1 large jalapeño, chopped ( you can substitue hot sauce or red pepper flakes if you don't have a jalapeño )
Kosher salt, to taste
Freshly ground pepper
4 cups peeled, roasted* sweet potatoes, 1-inch cubed
2 tablespoons ketchup
4 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
8 ounces baked  extra firm tofu, diced
4 teaspoons chopped parsley

For serving
Scallions, chopped
Hot sauce
Ketchup

1. In a nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and the jalapeño, and season with salt and pepper. Cook until golden, about 5 minutes.

2. Add the cubed potatoes, ketchup and Worcestershire sauce, and season with salt. Press the mixture down into the skillet, reduce the heat to medium and cook until golden, about 5 to 7 minutes.

3. While the potatoes are cooking, cut the tofu into quarter-inch dice, about the same size as the potatoes. When potatoes are cooked, gently add diced tofu.

4. Place the hash on a plate and top with parsley. Serve with scallions, hot sauce and ketchup, if desired.


* Roast sweet potatos for 30 minutes at 325 degrees
