Recipe Description
A tantalizing Brazilian stew, this vegan version of Moqueca uses mushrooms and tofu instead of fish, simmered in a rich coconut milk sauce spiced with paprika and lime. It’s a hearty and flavorful dish that will transport your taste buds straight to Brazil.
Ingredients
- 1 pound firm tofu, pressed and cubed
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- Salt to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 lb mushrooms, sliced
- 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
- Cooked rice, for serving
Steps:
- Marinate the tofu cubes in lime juice, paprika, and salt for at least 30 minutes.
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, bell peppers, and garlic, and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
