Tofu stew

(from kylerhea’s recipe box)

Serves 4 people

Ingredients

  • 1 pound extra-firm tofu, drained and cut into 1/2 inch cubes
  • 1 tsp salt, divided
  • 3 Tbs olive oil, divided
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 large red onion, chopped
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 zucchini, cut on the diagonal into 1/2 inch pieces
  • 2 medium carrots, cut on the diagonal into 1/2 inch pieces
  • 2 tomatoes, halved and quartered
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 Tbs Worcestershire sauce
  • Black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Toss the tofu with ½ tsp salt.

  2. Heat 2 Tbs oil in the wok or skillet. When the oil is hot, add the garlic. Stir-fry for 10 seconds and add the red onion. Sprinkle the dried parsley and oregano over the garlic and onion and stir-fry for 2 minutes or until it begins to soften. Add the zucchini, stir-fry for 1 minute, and then add the carrots. Stir-fry for 1 minute, sprinkling with ½ tsp salt, then add the tomatoes. Splash the vegetables with a bit of water or beef broth if they begin to dry out during the stir-frying.

  3. Add the tofu. Stir-fry for 1 minute, gently moving the tofu around the pan.

  4. Add the beef broth. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes or until heated through. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding black pepper if desired. Serve hot.
