    METHOD

    To make the scramble:
    In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1 tbsp (15 ml) of the oil. Reduce the heat to medium and cook the crumbled tofu until browned, stirring occasionally. If the tofu is sticking, add another tbsp (15 ml) of oil. Cook for about 10 minutes, or until well browned. Cook until the onions soften, about 3 minutes, then add the bell pepper and onion. Combine the spices, nutritional yeast, cherry tomatoes, capers, garlic, and sauerkraut in a mixing bowl. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.

    In a small mixing bowl, combine the sauerkraut juice, broth or water, tomato paste, and liquid smoke. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, into the tofu. The tofu should absorb the liquid. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

    To make the sandwiches:
    Spread a thin layer of mustard on each slice of toast. Layer the spinach evenly on the toast, followed by the dill pickles. Serve immediately with the tofu mixture distributed evenly on top.
