I found this on the Fruit-n-Veggie-recipes group. It was posted by Anna
Welander, and looked like something you'd enjoy.
Tofu Gumbo
2 cups Vidalia onions, yellow, diced
2 or 3 cups vegetable stock
1 1/2 cups Italian tomatoes, canned, crushed
1/2 cups carrots, sliced 1/4" thick
4 cups okra, sliced 1/4" thick
1 cup red bell peppers, diced
1 cup green bell peppers, diced
1 cup yellow squash, sliced
1/2 cup corn kernels, fresh
6 garlic cloves, peeled, sliced
1 tbsp. Cajun spice (optional)
1 tsp. paprika
1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes (optional)
10 ozs. tofu, pressed, cubed
salt and pepper to taste
In a large saucepan, combine the onions vegetable stock, tomatoes, carrots
and celery. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes.
Add the okra, red and green bell peppers, yellow squash, corn, garlic,
Cajun
Spice, paprika and red pepper flakes. Continue simmering for another 10
minutes. Add the tofu and simmer an additional 10 minutes. Season to taste
with pepper and salt. Serve hot. Serves 8.
Note: I left out the hot spices. No one in my family would have eaten
this if I'd left them in, but I also doubled the amount of tofu, used low fat
tofu, added two boxes of sliced white mushrooms, a can of chick peas, and a
cup of dry red wine. As always, I ignored the cooking instructions and
just dumped everything in the crockpot. Came out terrific!
