So I was being extra creative tonight... not that I'm not USUALLY really creative, but I think this dish is awesome and delicious and I'm really pleased with how this turned out. Try it and let me know what you think.

Ingredients (serves 2):

- 3/4 package of Extra Firm Tofu
- 1/2 onion, diced
- 1/2 cup chopped celery
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- 1/2 green pepper, diced
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1/3 cup fire roasted tomatoes
- olive oil
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/2 tsp dried basil
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- salt
- pepper

To Make:

In a large pan, saute the onions and celery for 2 minutes on medium heat.

Drain and slice the tofu into small cubes. Add the tofo into the onions and add in the green peppers. Season with salt and pepper. Cook on medium high heat for about 10 minutes until nicely browned. Add in the carrots.

Add in the 1/3 cup fire roasted tomatoes and season with salt. Cook another 5 minutes.

Add in the tomato paste and 1/2 cup water. Add the rest of the spices. Mix together and cover. Cook on medium low heat for another 10 minutes.
