I love a one-pot wonder like this rich hotpot which is vegan, nutritious, ridiculously tasty, and deeply satisfying. And if you’re a carnivore, simply substitute the tofu for your favourite flesh – it can only enhance the already delicious flavour of the broth.
Ingredients
1 tablespoon oil
1 brown onion, chopped
1 – 2 red chillies, chopped
3 garlic cloves, chopped or minced
1 inch piece of ginger, chopped or minced
1 small red pepper (capsicum), chopped
1 scant tablespoon dried oregano
1 pack firm tofu, cubed
1 can diced or crushed tomatoes
2 cups water and 1 vegetable stock cube (or 500ml liquid stock)
2 tablespoons tamari or soy sauce
4 – 5 cups chopped vegetables of your choice
Bunch of parsley, chopped
Salt and pepper to season
Method
Heat the oil in a heavy based pot or pan and saute the onion and capsicum until softened.
Add the chilli, garlic, ginger and oregano for two minutes.
Add the tomatoes, tamari, water and stock, and season well.
Bring to a gentle boil and stir through the tofu and vegetables.
Lower the heat and simmer for 20 – 30 minutes with the lid on, stirring occasionally.
Check the seasoning, stir through the parsley and serve with rice and/or fresh crusty bread.
