Mediterranean-Style Pan Fried Tofu

Give your plain tofu a sunny twist coating it with olives, capers and tomatoes flavors.

I don’t know about you, but to me tofu doesn’t taste of much. That’s why I came up with this recipe, that totally changes the approach we have towards this white piece of protein!

I wanted to give the tofu a taste of Italy!

So I coated it in double concentrated tomato, and olive tapenade. I also added garlic, capers oregano olives and sun dried tomatoes.

Well it worked! You just need to add some rice beside it and some veggies and you will have your complete meal. A tasty one!
