• 1 block firm tofu, drained and crumbled
• 4 cups chopped kale
• 4 large eggs

1. In a nonstick skillet over moderate heat, heat the olive oil. Put the onion, garlic, and red bell pepper in the pan and cook for approximately 5 minutes or until the onion is translucent.
2. Add the paprika, cumin, and cayenne pepper (if using) to the pan and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
