Saucy Mushroom, Bean and Tofu Chilli (Vegetarian/Vegan)

Comments Off on Saucy Mushroom, Bean and Tofu Chilli (Vegetarian/Vegan)

A simple recipe made from readily available ingredients. The taste is very rich and savoury, with a hint of spiciness. Also very healthy! ?

Ingredients

  1. 150 g Chestnut Mushrooms
  2. 400 g Red Beans
  3. 125 g Smoked Tofu
  4. 6 Green Chillies
  5. 5 Cloves Garlic
  6. Fresh Basil (to taste)
  7. Spices (see Step 3)
  8. Dash Soy Sauce
  9. Olive Oil

Steps

  1. Cut mushrooms into halves. Dice three of the green chillies. Dice the cloves of garlic. Coat the frying pan (I used a wok) with olive oil and wait for it to heat up. After it does, add the mushrooms, chillies and garlic and fry for 5 minutes over medium-high heat.

  2. Dice the smoked tofu into cubes (I prefer fairly large chunks) and drain and wash the red beans (if canned). Add the tofu and the red beans to the pan, as well as the remaining chillie peppers (they’ll be used for decoration).

  3. Add spices: turmeric, herbes de provence (or rosemary, marjoram and/or thyme), chives, fresh basil, chilli flakes or powder, salt and pepper. Mix the spices in and add a dash of soy sauce. Fry for 5-7 more minutes.

  4. Stir the ingredients periodically. Add 1dl of water to the pan and stir more. When the water evaporates a bit, add 1dl more and fry for 5 minutes, stirring from time to time.

  5. By now, the ingredients should be soft and saucy, getting their colour from turmeric and soy sauce. That’s it, enjoy your meal and remember to decorate it with the three undiced chillies! ?
