Ingredients

300g block firm tofu 

1 tablespoon olive oil  

1 onion, finely chopped 

2 cloves garlic, crushed 

1 red capsicum, finely chopped  

1 zucchini, finely chopped 

½ teaspoon chili powder 

1 tsp smoked paprika 

1 tsp cumin 

1 can kidney beans, drained and rinsed well 

1 can black beans, drained and rinsed well 

1 can diced tomatoes, no added salt 

Salt and pepper to taste 

½ bunch coriander, chopped 

Method

  1. To prepare the tofu – Place tofu between paper towels and press to remove excess liquid. Next, using your hands or fork, crumble tofu into small pieces. 
  2. Heat olive oil in a large casserole pot on medium heat. Add the tofu and cook for approximately 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Tofu should turn golden and crispy. 
  3. Add the diced onion, garlic, red capsicum, and zucchini to the casserole pot. Cook for approximately 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften. 
  4. Stir in chili powder, smoked paprika and cumin. Next, add kidney beans, black beans and canned tomatoes. Stir to combine all ingredients. 
  5. Allow chili to simmer for 25 minutes, allowing the flavours to develop. You may need a little water or vegetable stock if the chili gets too thick.  
  6. Season with salt and pepper.  
  7. When ready to serve, garnish with fresh coriander.  

Serving suggestion: Add a dollop of smashed avocado
