1  14- to 16-ounce package of medium soft tofu, well drained
1 3/4 T low-sodium tamari
1 1/2 T fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp. ground turmeric
1/2 tsp. dried basil

In a skillet, on low-medium, heat:
1 T. olive oil

Add:
1 cup peeled potato,
   chopped into small cubes, about 1/4".
scant 1/4 tsp. black pepper

Stir potatoes occasionally (to avoid sticking), and cook for about 5 minutes, until potatoes begin to soften.


Add, and cook (covered, and stirring occasionally) until soft, about 3 minutes:
1/2 cup leek, white and light green parts only, thinly sliced
    (or diced yellow onion)
optional: 1/4 cup green pepper, diced


Add, and cook (covered, and stirring occasionally), 3 to 5 minutes, until veggies tender:
1 small garlic clove, minced
3/4 cup very small broccoli florets
    (or any mixture of diced vegetables, fresh or pre-cooked)

Remove pan from heat, and let cool until steam mostly gone.
