Tofu Cacciatore Bowl With Bell Pepper & Broccoli

June 18, 2020
I'm definitely in an Italian phase of cooking right now, and the tomato jars are disappearing out of my cabinets faster than I can buy them. Usually, I tend to add legumes to my plant-based Italian dishes for protein. For this dish, however, I added tofu and I loved the way it soaked up the flavors of this easy cacciatore sauce! It comes together in under an hour for an easy vegan meal but feels fancy enough for a date-night in or family dinner. Dish it up over quinoa (pictured) or your favorite grain or pasta! I topped mine with vegan parmesan, red pepper flakes, and parmesan.

Directions

1. Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Once warm, add the onion, bell peppers, and tofu and saute for 5 minutes, until veggies start to soften.

2. Add the garlic powder and dried thyme and cook for 1-2 minutes.

3. Add the white wine and diced tomatoes, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 25-30 minutes.

4. In the meantime, steam your broccoli over the stove top for 5 minutes, until vibrant green and tender. Cook your quinoa or pasta according to package instructions and set aside.

5. Serve over pasta or your favorite grain (I love quinoa!) and garnish with red pepper flakes, vegan parmesan, and parsley. Add a side of broccoli for greens!
