 Tofu with Sweet Pepper Sauce Serves 4
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 20 minutes |  | | | Tofu (soy bean curd) is sold in several different forms and this recipe uses the firm plain version, available in supermarkets and health food shops. The recipe, however, is equally good using smoked tofu. Low in fat, tofu is a good source of protein and should therefore be included on both vegetarian and non-vegetarian menus.

1 OXO Vegetable Cube
2 x 220g packets plain tofu
1 large onion, thinly sliced
1 garlic clove, crushed
2 large red peppers, diced
