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.
