Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the rice according to package instructions. Fluff and set aside.

  2. 2

    Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add cubed tofu and cook until golden and crispy on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove tofu and set aside.

  3. 3

    In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon olive oil. Sauté the red onion and garlic for 2 minutes until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Add the red bell pepper and zucchini, and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  5. 5

    Stir in the crushed tomatoes, basil, oregano, thyme, salt, pepper, and balsamic vinegar. Simmer for 8-10 minutes until the sauce thickens and vegetables are tender.

  6. 6

    Return the tofu to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Cook for 2 more minutes to heat through.

  7. 7

    To serve, divide rice among bowls. Top with the tomato basil tofu mixture and garnish with extra basil and Parmesan if desired.
