Tomato rice topped with roasted mushrooms and tofu


Tomato rice

About:

Tomato rice is delicious and easy to make dish. As a variation I topped it with roasted Mushrooms and Tofu. They added the crunchiness to the dish as well made a healthy pot meal.

You’ve probably heard that tofu takes on the flavors of that with which it’s cooked, which is true; however, I’ve found that a marinating and then cooking gives it even more of a flavor. I personally love those bold flavors are perfect to use when cooking with tofu; the brightness of herbs, the depth and warmth of garlic, the smoky-ness of lightly charred veggies—all of these things lend themselves so well to a colorful and healthy dinner using crispy tofu as a star ingredient.

I served with Baked babycorn as a 2 course meal (Recipe click here)
