This vegan tofu cacciatore is super easy and quick to make and is just as flavorful as the original Italian dish. Serve it over pasta, rice or polenta for a delicious and healthy meal.

Ingredients

  • 1 large onion
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 14 oz (extra) firm tofu (400 g)
  • 1 red pepper
  • 1 green or yellow pepper
  • 3 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) tomatoes
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tsp thyme, dried
  • 1/2 tsp oregano, dried
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp pepper

Instructions

  1. Prep tofu & veggies: Half the onion and cut into not too thin slices. Mince the garlic. Cut the tofu in cubes and slice the pepper to thin strips.
  2. Pan-fry tofu: Heat a large non-stick pan and fry the tofu on medium heat for a couple of minutes until nicely browned from all sides. Remove the tofu from the pan and put aside.
  3. Sauté veggies: In the same pan, sauté the onion and garlic in a bit of water for 2-3 min. Add the pepper strips and a pinch of salt and cook for 5 min. Add more water (by the tbsp), if the veggies start to stick.
  4. Cook the sauce: Stir in the tomato paste, canned tomatoes and balsamic vinegar and cook for 2 min. Add the herbs, salt and pepper and stir in the tofu cubes. Cook for another 2 min.
  5. Serve: Serve over pasta, rice, quinoa or polenta. Sprinkle with homemade cashew parm if you like.
