Tofu with Key Lime

[Guest guest]

1 box of extra firm tofu drained and cubed

1 bottle of key lime juice ( you won't use the entire bottle- I use it

as a marinade and keep a bottle on hand )

1 onion sliced in half and then each half sliced lengthwise

1 red bell pepper sliced lengthwise in strips

1 green bell pepper sliced as above

1 large clove garlic minced

1 small yellow squash sliced into rounds

1/2 cup frozen green peas thawed

some fresh basil leaves chiffonade cut

salt and pepper to taste

 

Drain tofu then place in bowl and pour over about 1/2 cup lime juice,

to cover tofu. Meanwhile prepare vegetables.

In a non stick skillet add a bit of vegetable oil and cook and stir

vegetables except peas until they become softened and tender. Add the

tofu with the lime juice and cook and gently stir mixture to heat

tofu. Add the thawed peas. Season to taste with salt and pepper. If

you wish add some ginger and since this is tart, one may sweeten a bit

by adding some kind of sugar. Lastly stir in basil. Serve as is or

along with some kind of rice or wheat noodles

Yield 4 servings

Note: If you can get a hold of some young tender kaffir lime leaves,

finely chop them and add to this recipe
