Moroccan Tofu

2 cups water
½ pack tofu cut into thin strips
1 cup large raw beans or chick peas (soaked overnight)
1 sliced garlic clove
2 tomatoes, cut into quarters
2 carrots, cut into large slices
2 peppers, cut into large chunks
1 sliced red chilli pepper (if required)
1 Tbsp chopped coriander leaves (on the tofu)
½ cup olive oil
1 Tbsp salt
2 Tbsps of sweet red paprika
Tomato puree

• Add all the ingredients and water to a large covered pan and bring to boil.
• Pour over the olive oil, salt and paprika.
• Garnish with a thin layer of tomato puree.
• Simmer slowly over a low heat, the longer the better.
• Serve with couscous.

Serves 2 people


Many of the ingredients, spices and quantities depend on the preference of the cook, but those above have proven to be very popular. The size of the tofu pieces also depends on whether you like it to be chewy or not, but if you dice it into pieces of 1cm on all sides it is bound to be successful.
