Rich Red Wine Mushroom and Vegetable Braise
Savor the earthy flavors of cremini mushrooms and vibrant vegetables slowly braised in a rich red wine reduction. This hearty dish combines silky extra-firm tofu and creamy chickpeas to create a satisfying, protein-packed meal with a depth of flavor enhanced by aromatic garlic, thyme, and rosemary.
INGREDIENTS
300g Extra-Firm Tofu
1/2 cup Chickpeas (drained)
1 cup Cremini Mushrooms (sliced)
1 medium Red Bell Pepper
1 small Zucchini
1/2 medium Yellow Onion
2 cloves Garlic
1/3 cup Red Wine
1/2 cup Vegetable Broth
1 tbsp Fresh Thyme
1 tbsp Fresh Rosemary
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Press the tofu for at least 15 minutes to remove excess water, then cut into bite-sized cubes.
Heat a large, heavy skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add a splash of water or minimal oil if desired.
Sauté the tofu cubes until lightly golden on all sides. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until translucent and aromatic.
Add the sliced cremini mushrooms and cook until they start to soften and release moisture.
Mix in the diced red bell pepper and sliced zucchini, cooking for another 3-4 minutes.
Pour in the red wine to deglaze the pan, stirring to lift any flavorful bits from the bottom.
Add the vegetable broth and stir in the fresh thyme and rosemary. Allow the mixture to simmer for 5 minutes.
Return the tofu to the pan along with the chickpeas. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Let the braise simmer gently for another 5-7 minutes until the flavors meld and the sauce slightly thickens.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary before serving.
