Time 1h32m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 green bell peppers - tops, seeds, and membranes removed
1 (16 ounce) package firm tofu
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, or more to taste
1 teaspoon ground cumin, or more to taste
½ teaspoon garlic powder, or to taste
½ teaspoon onion powder, or to taste
1 pinch salt to taste
1 (8 ounce) package jambalaya rice mix (such as Zatarain's®)
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed tomato soup, divided

Steps:

  • Check whether green bell peppers will stand on a flat surface; if not, trim bottoms to flatten.
  • Drain tofu and pat dry. Place in a bowl and mash with a fork until similar to ground beef in texture.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add mashed tofu, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Cook and stir until tofu is golden brown, 7 to 10 minutes.
  • Mix 2 1/2 cups water and jambalaya rice mix together in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Stir in the tofu mixture. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and water has been absorbed, about 25 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Fill a pot with enough water to cover green bell peppers; bring to a boil and then add green bell peppers. Cook until softened but not mushy, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Remove jambalaya mix from heat; let rest for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork; add 1/2 the tomato soup and stir.
  • Stand the boiled green peppers in a square glass baking dish. Scoop the rice and tofu mix into the peppers. Spoon remaining tomato soup over the filled peppers. Place any extra filling around the green bell peppers in the bottom of the baking dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the tomato soup topping begins to darken and dry, 30 to 45 minutes.

STUFFED PEPPERS WITH TOFU



Stuffed Peppers with Tofu image

Tofu is a great source of protein, 8 grams of protein per 3.5 ounces. If you want to add meat to this dish, simply add either 1/2 pound of Italian sausage or ground beef. I have made this many times and keep finding new ways to fix now I love those Mini Sweet Prepacked there now selling. I add 2 of each of the small to a serving...

Categories     Other Side Dishes

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 orange bell pepper
4 yellow bell pepper
4 red bell pepper
2 Tbsp olive oil, extra virgin
2 clove garlic
1 pkg tofu, extra-firm
1 3/4 c marinara sauce
2 c mozzarella cheese, low-fat
8 tomato slices
SALT PEPPER TO TASTE

Steps:

  • 1. 1. Mix olive oil, garlic, tofu and 1/4 cup Marinara sauce in the liner pan. 2. Cook about 12 minutes on power level high. 3. Season with salt and pepper and stir again as you continue to cook about another 5 minutes. 4. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, press an equal amount of rice into each pepper half. 5. Layer rice with remaining Marinara sauce, and 1/2 the cheese. 6. Press equal amount of tofu into the pepper halves. 7. Place 1 tomato slice on each pepper. Top peppers with remaining Mozzarella cheese. 8. Arrange stuffed peppers in a baking dish and place on the 1-inch rack. 9. Bake 400F for about 15 minutes. If cheese becomes too brown, tent with foil or parchment paper. You can also place remaining cheese on the last 4 minutes of baking. 10. Serve half of each color pepper to each person (1 1/2 pepper).

Tips:

  • Select the right peppers: Choose bell peppers that are firm, brightly colored, and have smooth skin. Avoid peppers with blemishes or bruises.
  • Prepare the tofu: To achieve a firmer texture, press the tofu before using it. This will help remove excess moisture and make the tofu more absorbent to the marinade.
  • Use flavorful ingredients: Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs, spices, and vegetables in your stuffing. Some popular options include garlic, onion, cumin, coriander, and black beans.
  • Cook the peppers thoroughly: Stuffed peppers typically take around 30-40 minutes to bake. Make sure the peppers are tender and the filling is heated through before serving.

Conclusion:

Stuffed peppers with tofu are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. With endless variations and the ability to customize the filling to your liking, this recipe is a great way to get creative in the kitchen. Experiment with different flavors and ingredients to find your perfect combination. Whether you prefer a classic vegetarian filling or a spicy and flavorful combination, stuffed peppers with tofu are sure to satisfy your taste buds.
