Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced red onion and sauté for about 10 minutes until softened and golden brown.
  2. Incorporate the diced red and yellow bell peppers into the skillet. Cook for an additional 3 to 5 minutes until they begin to soften.
  3. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds. Stir in the salt, smoked paprika, and cumin, cooking for another 30 to 60 seconds.
  4. Pour the diced tomatoes and maple syrup into the skillet, stirring to combine. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5 to 7 minutes.
  5. Crumble the firm tofu into bite-sized pieces and nestle it into the sauce. Simmer for an additional 10 to 15 minutes.
  6. Remove from heat, garnish with crumbled vegan feta and chopped cilantro. Serve warm with crusty bread.
