Make

  1. Heat a saute pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tbs. (15 ml) cooking oil and then garlic to heated oil. Once you can smell the garlic, add in red onions with a dash of salt. Saute for ~3 minutes, until the onions start to soften. If at any time the pan looks dry, add a splash of liquid (like water, stock, or wine).
  2. Next add in peppers with thyme leaves and remainder of sauce. Saute for ~2 to 3 minutes. Things should be smelling good now!
  3. Add in tofu and saute for 5 to 6 minutes. Turn off heat and season to taste with more spices or salt. Add a squeeze of lemon juice. Enjoy over quinoa.
