Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup cooked brown rice
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
1 cup chopped mushroom (any variety but I used shitake and baby bellas)

2 orange bell peppers, halved and seeded
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (can use soy cheese)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

  • Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, and stir in garlic, mushrooms and tofu.
  • Saute 5 minutes.
  • Mix in 1/4 cup marinara sauce, rice, salt and pepper, continue to cook 5 more minutes.
