Notes
Storage: Store in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Make-ahead: This dish tastes even better the next day as flavors meld. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave. Substitutions: Use chickpeas instead of tofu for a different protein. For a creamier version, add a splash of coconut milk. Serving Suggestions: Serve over quinoa or couscous for a heartier meal, or enjoy as is for a low-carb option. For a detox drink variation, blend the braised mixture with extra vegetable broth and strain for a savory sipping broth.
