Time: ~15 minutes

Yield: 4 servings

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 onion, diced
1 green bell pepper, seeded, deveined, and diced
½ red bell pepper, seeded, deveined, and diced
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon coriander
½ teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Pinch of cayenne
Pinch of sea salt
Healthy dose of freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds firm tofu, drained of excess water

In a sauté pan, heat the olive oil and add the onion and peppers. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

In a small bowl, mix together the cumin, turmeric, coriander, chili powder, paprika, thyme, cayenne, salt, and pepper, and set aside.

Crumble the tofu into bite-sized pieces with a fork and add to the sauté pan. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the tofu to coat and sauté for about 5 minutes.

Serve at once.
