Serves 6
10 minutes preparation
20 minutes cooking time

3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 cloves garlic, chopped and divided
1 large onion, chopped and divided
1 28-ounce can tomatoes (preferably Roma tomatoes), chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
1 pound firm tofu, drained and crumbled
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
salt to taste

Sandwich rolls for serving

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

First make the tomato sauce.  Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium saucepan and add 1 teaspoon of the garlic and approximately 1 cup of the onion.  Cook until the onion and garlic have softened, approximately 5-6 minutes.  Add the tomatoes and let the sauce simmer until you need it to complete the dish.

In a large frying pan, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil.  Add the remaining garlic and onion and the green pepper and cook until soft, about 7 to 8 minutes.  Add the tofu, soy sauce, chili powder, cumin, and salt and gently mash it together.  Mix in the tomato sauce and let the mixture simmer for a few more minutes.

Slice the rolls open and put them in the oven to warm.  Spoon the mixture over the warmed buns.
