Ingredients

• 400 grams extra-firm tofu
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium-sized onion, chopped
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 zucchini, sliced
• 100 grams fresh spinach
• 200 grams cherry tomatoes, halved
• 500 ml low-sodium vegetable broth
• 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 100 grams black olives, sliced
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Press the tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut it into 1-inch cubes.

Step 2

In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the tofu cubes and sauté until they are golden brown on all sides, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the tofu from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and chopped onions. Sauté until the onions are translucent, about 3 minutes.

Step 5

Add the sliced red bell pepper, zucchini, and cook for another 3 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 6

Stir in the fresh spinach and cherry tomatoes and cook for 2 minutes until the spinach wilts.

Step 7

Pour in the vegetable broth and add the light soy sauce, oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.

Step 8

Return the tofu to the skillet and add the sliced black olives. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 9

Adjust seasonings to taste, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, and serve the Sapo Tahu hot as part of a Mediterranean-inspired meal.
