I tried this today and it was pretty good. even though I'm on phase 1 Oops
you'll need:
12 oz. extra firm Tofu, drained and cubed
1 red and 1 orange Bell Pepper haved and seeded. (or both can be red or orange @_@ tis up to you)
1/2 cup uncooked brown rice
1/2 clove garlic Minced
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
3/4 cup and 2 Tablespoons marinara sause
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 slices of tomato
Pepper to taste
Salt to taste
Directions
1. Place rice and water in a pot and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low and cook for 45 minutes or until tender.
2. heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and stir in garlic and Tofu. (Tip from me... set the cubed tofu on a paper towle and pat dry to avoid the dreaded popping oil) cook for 5 minutes. Add 1/4 cup marinara sause, season with salt and pepper and cook and stir till tofu is evenly brown
3. Preheat over to 350 degrees F. (175 degrees C)
4. Spoon and press equal amounts of rice into each pepper half. layer rice with remanind marinara sause, and 1/2 the cheese. Then Press equal amounts of tofu into the peppers. Place 1 tomato slice on top and sprinkle on the rest of the cheese. Place peppers in a baking dish.
5. Bake for 25 minutes until cheese is melted
