Steps:
- Check whether green bell peppers will stand on a flat surface; if not, trim bottoms to flatten.
- Drain tofu and pat dry. Place in a bowl and mash with a fork until similar to ground beef in texture.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add mashed tofu, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Cook and stir until tofu is golden brown, 7 to 10 minutes.
- Mix 2 1/2 cups water and jambalaya rice mix together in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Stir in the tofu mixture. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and water has been absorbed, about 25 minutes.

- Fill a pot with enough water to cover green bell peppers; bring to a boil and then add green bell peppers. Cook until softened but not mushy, 5 to 10 minutes.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Tip the passata into an ovenproof dish that is large enough to hold the peppers while still keeping some room around the edges. Stir the chilli flakes, half of the garlic and half of the olives through the passata and season. Sit the pepper halves on top of the passata mixture, cut-side up, and bake for 20 mins.
- Meanwhile, tip the rice into a bowl and loosen with a fork or your hands until the grains are separated. Add the remaining olives and the roughly chopped tomato. Carefully spoon the rice mixture into the cooked peppers (don't worry about any juices that have collected in the bottom - these will soak into the rice). Stir any leftover rice through the passata mixture around the peppers, then return to the oven and bake for a further 10 mins, or until the rice is heated through.
- Combine the remaining garlic, the finely chopped tomato, basil, pine nuts and olive oil. Drizzle the dressing over the peppers, then serve with a green salad on the side.

Tips:
- Choose the right tofu: Extra firm or firm tofu is best for stuffing peppers, as it holds its shape well.
- Press the tofu: Pressing the tofu removes excess water, which helps it absorb more flavor.
- Season the tofu: Tofu has a mild flavor, so it's important to season it well. Use a variety of herbs, spices, and vegetables to create a flavorful filling.
- Don't overcook the peppers: Peppers should be cooked until they are tender but still have a slight crunch.
- Serve warm: Stuffed peppers are best served warm, right out of the oven.
