Tomatoes Stuffed with Rice and Tofu
I love stuffed peppers, well at least the stuffed part anyway. I don't like peppers. So, here's an alternative, stuffed tomatoes.
- 8 to 10 to large tomatoes
- 2 medium onions, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 TBSP tomato paste
- 1 TBSP dried parsley
- 1 TBSP oregano
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 1 package soft tofu, drained
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup water
- Olive oil
- Cut tops off of tomatoes and scoop out pulp. (Save pulp for later)
- Saute onions and garlic in olive oil until soft.
- Add tomato pulp, tomato paste, parsley, oregano, rice, tofu and salt and pepper.
- Cover and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stuff tomatoes with rice mixture.
- Place in baking dish with water in bottom of pan. Brush tops of tomatoes with olive oil and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes.
