-------- ------------ --------------------------------

15 ounces firm tofu or one package

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

3/4 cup chopped green bell pepper

2 cloves garlic -- finely chopped

2 tablespoons chili powder

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon salt

are tender and begin to brown.

TIPS: There's a trick for preparing tofu to give it that texture: Buy firm-style

tofu, then shred it or grate it as you would cheese. Freeze the shredded tofu in

an airtight container. When you are ready to cook, just thaw it and squeeze out

any extra liquid. The process of freezing and thawing is the best way to get rid

of unneeded water.

 

Tofu is naturally bland and so can absorb strong spices like those used for

chili. You can make the dish ahead of time; the flavors will continue to develop

and their blend will be more interesting. For a really hearty meal, serve the

dish over rice with your favorite chili garnishes.

NOTES : SWEET, SPICY: Recipe combines strong flavors, tofu's meaty texture in

interesting, healthy dish. A recipe to consider if you have not cooked with tofu

before, especially if you're looking for a low-fat vegetarian entree. The tofu

here has a robust, meaty texture, and its seasoning is satisfyingly assertive.
