INGREDIENTS
250g Extra Firm Tofu
1/2 cup Cooked Chickpeas
1 medium Carrot
1 small Zucchini
1 medium Red Bell Pepper
1 small Red Onion
1 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
1/4 cup Fresh Basil & Parsley
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Press the tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut it into bite-sized cubes.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Add the tofu cubes and lightly sauté until they start to brown on the edges.
Stir in the chopped carrot, zucchini, red bell pepper, and red onion. Allow the vegetables to soften for about 3-4 minutes.
Add the cooked chickpeas and halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet.
Season with salt and black pepper, then lower the heat and add a splash of water (about 2-3 tablespoons) to help create a light braising liquid.
Cover the skillet and let the ingredients simmer for 8-10 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still retain their color and texture.
Finish by stirring in the fresh basil and parsley. Adjust seasoning if needed before serving.
