This is a satisfying, healthy, cold weather stew recipe from "Moosewood Restaurant Low-Fat Favorites". It's great over rice or with some crusty bread. It's a flexible recipe; feel free o substitute with whatever veggies you have in the fridge. Kale works well. TO PRESS TOFU: Sandwich firm or soft tofu between two plates or baking sheets. Rest a weight (like a heavy book) on top and press for 30 minutes, then drain water.

Time 45m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 cups chopped onions
1/2 cup water
3 cups sliced celery
4 cups sliced mushrooms (12-ounce package)
2 bay leaves
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
2 cups undrained canned whole tomatoes, chopped (18-ounce can)
2 tablespoons tahini or 2 tablespoons peanut butter
1 (12 ounce) package tofu, pressed and cut into bite-sized pieces (see recipe description)
1 dash soy sauce or 1 dash hot sauce, to taste

Steps:

  • In a covered soup pot on high heat, cook the onions in the water, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes. Add the celery and continue to cook, covered, stirring frequently for 5 minutes. Add more water if the vegetables begin to stick. Add the mushrooms, lower the heat, and cook until the mushrooms begin to release their juices, about 5 minutes. Stir in the bay leaves, ginger, and tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the tahini or peanut butter, add the tofu, and simmer on a heat diffuser or on very low heat for a few minutes more. Add salt, soy sauce, or hot sauce to taste; discard the bay leaves and serve.

This stew is a great make-ahead meal. I often make it on the weekend and then reheat it for dinner during the week. It's just as good the second time around.

This stew is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I had some leftover broccoli and carrots, and I threw them into the stew. It turned out great!

This tofu stew is a delightful blend of flavors and textures. The mushrooms add a savory depth, the sesame oil a nutty richness, and the tofu a satisfying chewiness. I served it over brown rice and it was a hit with my family.
