Tofu strikes again. We love it! And even though it’s made of legumes (soy) it does not cause flatulence. And since we also love sweet potatoes, here’s the recipe that combines these two ingredients. Sweet potato stuffed with veggies and tofu served with vegan parmesan :D
Ingredients (serves 4):
2 large sweet potatoes
1 onion
200 g red bean (canned or cooked)
1/2 cup tomato puree
90 g tofu
1/2 red bell pepper
1/2 chili pepper
1/2 yellow pepper
4 mushrooms
1 clove of garlic
1 tsp sweet pepper
1 tsp sugar
2 tsp dried oregano
salt
black pepper
1 tbsp chickpea flour
1 tbsp sesame seeds
vegan parmesan (ground almond flakes, cashew nuts, nutritional yeast and dried garlic)
olive oil
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees C. Wash sweet potatoes and cut each into half. Lay the sweet potatoes onto the baking pan covered with baking sheet. Put some olive oil on each half of sweet potato. Season with some salt.
Bake for about 45 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare the veggies and tofu. Peel and dice the onion. Chop the chili pepper and garlic finely. Dice the mushrooms and bell peppers. Cut tofu into small cubes. In a bowl combine chickpea flour and sesame seeds. Combine tofu with flour and sesame seeds mix. Fry tofu cubes in vegetable oil and then transfer to kitchen towel to drain off the excess of oil.
In a separate pan, fry (with 2 tbsp olive oil/vegetable oil) garlic, chili pepper and bell peppers. Fry for about 1-2 minutes, while tossing. Then add mushrooms and fry for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add red bean and tomato puree. Mix, add the spices and sugar. Season with some salt. Cover and cook over low heat for about 10 minutes.
Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven. Use a fork to remove the sweet potato flesh (e.g. with the use of ice cream spoon). Add the sweet potato flesh into the stuffing. Mix well. Fill the sweet potatoes with the stuffing, put tofu cubes on top. Bake for about 15 minutes.
Before serving put some vegan parmesan on top. Enjoy!
