Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp olive oil extra virgin, divided
  • 1 cup onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cumin ground
  • 1 tsp coriander ground
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika ground

  • 12 oz tofu firm, sliced 1/2' pieces
  • 1/4 cup basil fresh, shredded

Instructions
 

  • Heat 1/2 tbsp of olive oil in a medium sized saucepan over medium-high heat then saute the onions for about 5 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat to medium low and mix in the garlic, tomato paste, salt, cumin, coriander, paprika, and diced tomatoes and cook for about 20 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent any sticking to the bottom of the pan.
