Ingredients

  • 2 14 Ounce Blocks Extra Firm Tofu drained
  • 1 Large Onion small diced
  • 3 Tablespoons Hungarian Sweet Paprika
  • 2-3 Teaspoons Hungarian Hot Paprika
  • ¾ Cup Vegetable Broth
  • 2 Green Peppers small diced
  • 3 Tablespoons Tomato Paste
  • 1 Teaspoon Salt
  • 8 Ounces Elbow Pasta I used chickpea pasta

Instructions

  • Cube the tofu. Turn each block of tofu on its side and slice in half lengthwise. Then slice the block into 4 strips. Rotate and slice into 8 strips, creating 32 cubes per sheet (64 cubes per block).
  • In a large non-stick skillet, sauté the onion for 5-7 minutes until soft, using a splash of vegetable broth as the cooking liquid. If there's any liquid in the pan when the onions are soft, turn to high and cook off the liquid.
  • Add the tofu and both paprikas. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring only a few times - let the tofu cook a minute or two on each side. If the tofu begins to stick, add a splash of vegetable broth.
  • Add the remaining vegetable broth, pepper, tomato paste, and salt. Cover and simmer for 5-7minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to the package instructions.
  • Serve the tofu paprikash over the noodles. Enjoy!
