This protein-rich dish may be served for breakfast or later in the day. For greens, consider bok choy, spinach, kale or collards (stem removed), or parsley. If using tender greens such as spinach, add in the last minute of cooking the vegetables. Use a non-stick pan if you have one. Nutritional yeast is added at the end of the cooking period, as it tends to stick to the pan. Serve with salsa, diced avocado, cooked sweet potatoes, leftover vegetables, or heavy pumpernickel bread, if desired. Suitable for vegan and vegetarian dishes.
